Chinese buyers in London are misreading the actual ratio or not exceeding 1%

Hao Qian August, London autumn. Unlike the Chinese "Golden Nine Silver Ten" concept, the London property market has passed the most lively time, some developers have begun to calculate this year's harvest.　　International buyers are taking advantage of the sterling slump to spread money into the London property market, and Chinese buyers have become important players on the chessboard.　　However, after a thorough visit, the first financial daily reporter found that Chinese buyers who had been "marvellous" in the London property market had a large misreading.　　Chinese buyers or Southeast Asian buyers?　　How much does the Chinese investor have in the London property market? This reporter in the London residential market survey found that the Chinese investors in the hot hold even if not "feint", is also a technical deviation.　　In practical terms, it may be more reasonable to extend the concept of Chinese investors to "Southeast Asian buyers". In the London Noble Community Chelsea Plate (CHELSEA), Sales clerk Alex (Alexa Waddington) is very happy to receive media from China. The Bramah project, which she serves, is in the heart of London, a new project that began building a few years ago, containing 101 of commercial houses.　　Alex told reporters that they accumulated thousands of local customers in the previous two years, but because of the economic downturn, so the property has not been on the market. In the first half of this year, developers think the timing is good, but still lack of confidence, so from Singapore to Hong Kong, China and Shanghai to do a series of "roadshow", the result is the real estate within 7 weeks quickly sold 65%.　　Interestingly, the property has not yet opened, and the price is very expensive-one room, one hall, more than 6 million yuan, three rooms priced more than tens of millions. Alex calculated the current customer structure, the result is more than half from Singapore, the remaining single-digit buyers from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Hong Kong, China.　　It is not known whether there are mainland Chinese. The same is true for a landmark project next to Hyde Park.　　This "historic building" renovation project faces a large green space in Hyde Park, the Price in London is also high to the staggering-a set of about 90 square meters of apartment prices of 22 million yuan, 900 square meters of the project is more than 200 million yuan. This is still not a formal opening of the project, but the salesman confirmed to reporters: "There is no mainland Chinese buyers to order, but a lot of buyers showed interest." Sales clerk said.　　The reality is that Chinese buyers are not convenient to see the house, from the emergence of interest to the real order there are resistance. The misreading of China's "concept" of Chinese investors in the London property market "important position" of the hot, should be from the first Pacific Davis released last month, said a report. "Buyers in Southeast Asia, especially some from mainland China and Hong Kong, now account for 35% of the number of new development buyers in London, making Chinese buyers the most active investment group in London," they said in a report. CB Richard Ellis"While the iron is hot", the report said at the end of last month that China's rich have replaced the Russian rich as the main force in London's high-end market. After that, all the statistics have been released, the Chinese "concept stocks" coveted unceasingly.　　At this point, the Berkeley group, the London residential construction Company, added a fire-more than 30% of the 2000 homes it sold last year (an average of 263,000 pounds) came from China and India.　　Without exception, in a reporter visited the London real estate, anyone can have a few hearsay of Chinese Hao throw daughter in London to buy a house "legend." "Some of London's new house projects are starting to target Southeast Asian buyers, not just in Southeast Asia, but in the Middle East, South Africa and Eastern Europe," said Edward Lewis, director of Edward Lewis, the first Pacific Davis London company. But South-East Asia is a key investment sector. They have focused on the sector for 20 years, and the rise of investors has only begun in the last two years. They want to buy new properties because they may also offer long-term leases and underground parking spaces.　　But China's buyers are mostly from the Hong Kong region, not Beijing or Shanghai.　　Over the past 18 months, they have sold more than 100 single British new homes to Chinese buyers, including mainland buyers and Hong Kong buyers, equivalent to about 15% of all global sales throughout the year.　　In London, the old house is not only a British architectural feature, but also the main supply of local commercial housing. "New properties are only a small part of the property market in London, below 1% per cent," he said. In the case of second-hand property, Chinese buyers may be only single-digit, or less than 1%, but Chinese buyers in second-hand properties are 4% per cent if they include Hong. "Yolande Barnes, director of research at the first Pacific Davis UK company, told reporters:" In fact, the best property in the best region of London, the overall number of Chinese buyers. But some of the new properties that China has been promoting have climbed fast. That is why we conclude that Chinese buyers account for 30% of new properties. ”
