There has been a massive surge of interest in UK crowdfunding development projects from overseas investors as their numbers have increased rapidly in these types of investments. This is according to a crowdfunding property investment and development company platform that launched last year.

The company claims it has seen a 52% surge in overseas investors investing their money in UK crowdfunding development projects.

The majority of the overseas investors are from the Far East, Middle East as well as East Africa because at the moment the weak pound is extremely attractive as well as being able to take a 'back seat' type of investment that crowdfunding offers.

According to the company their overseas investors are nearly 43% of their client base who back crowdfunded development projects, obviously investing in projects that offer the highest yielding opportunities.

Hamptons International's research shows that overseas investors find UK property one of the most appealing opportunities to them, as 30% of London homes were sold to international buyers in the last twelve months.

Jatin Ondhia, CEO of the company, said: “International investors have always considered the UK property market to be one of their top asset types, as it offers them a safe and secure investment.

“London is particularly attractive to overseas investors now, thanks to falling property prices and great capital growth potential over the next 10-15 years. Property in the capital has always been a stable asset and we have seen a large spike in overseas investor demand for our development projects in London.

“We have recently launched new investments products featuring bridge loans, mezzanine loans and buy-to-let which will allow investors to spread their risk across the entire investment spectrum and diversify their property portfolios.”
