Rich Indians flocking to buy houses in London - The Economic Times

Rich Indians flocking to buy houses in London - The Economic Times

LONDON: Many rich Indians are among foreigners investing over 3 billion pounds every year in London's prime real estate market as the metropolis continues to attract the world's super-rich, latest industry figures show.

Several estate agents have highlighted the fact of rich Indians flocking to buy property in London, thanks to a booming economy, favourable foreign exchange rates and increasing numbers of children of rich Indians studying here.

Property in most areas in Britain have fallen substantially in the last three years, but foreign capital continues to buoy real estate prices in London.

Latest research by estate agent Savills says, "There are more buyers coming from India and Pakistan than China - and they're spending more. It is this group that Savills identifies as most important to the London market among the emerging economies".
