People buy and sell property around the world for a multitude of reasons.
For some, it is a personal and emotive transaction; for others, it is simply about returns, income and yield. Ultimately, however, everyone shares the same goal – to ensure that their money is safely placed and that they have researched the options thoroughly.
This journal seeks to review London’s place in the global property world. We have a passion for this great city, and through these pages explore its place within the wider residential context of its international counterparts.
The chapters enclosed move through emerging locations, changed by transport and infrastructure; the tax benefits and pitfalls of London, Tokyo, New York and Singapore; and the new-build residential market that is acting as a magnet to global investors.
I hope that our passion is evident but, more importantly, I hope that the topics and features are of use and insight to you in your property journey.
Andrew Scott, Partner and Head of London Residential, Strutt & Parker
