More inquiries received from Chinese buyers after Brexit vote

Bengaluru

INTEREST among Chinese buyers in buying UK property has surged since Britain voted to leave the European Union last month, as the pound's slide has created opportunities to buy at a discount, real estate website juwai.com said on Monday.

The number of Chinese enquiries about the British residential and commercial property market has been 30-40 per cent higher than average in each week from June 20 to July 11, the website, which targets Chinese property investors looking abroad, said in an emailed statement.
