Thais love for London is back

Recently, for the second consecutive week, Bangkok played host to a property exhibition that shone the spotlight on British real estate investments.

In mid-January a hotel room investment located in the Midlands was showcased to Thai buyers, while late last month real estate firm Knight Frank introduced the THB 50 million-plus 375 Kensington High Street project from central London.

Frank Khan, Executive Director, Head of Residential Department, Knight Frank (Thailand) Co, said the recent London Property Exhibition was not about selling, but about sharing Knight Frank Thailand’s knowledge and full information about how and where to invest in London.

He added that investors also learned from Knight Frank specialists who flew from London and helped explain why the property market in London is worth investing in.

Reasons right now range from the strength of the U.K. pound, straightforward laws involving the residential market in London and compelling capital gains and rental yields, said Khan.

Knight Frank Thailand sealed deals valued at approximately THB 200 million at the London property event in Bangkok last month.

It has now scheduled a property tour to London during the coming months for those who reserved units at the event, said Khan, adding there are a lot more prospects who showed interest in buying this property and with whom Knight Frank Thailand will be following up.
