Many of them are looking for a haven in the UK during the chaotic period following Trump's inauguration in the US, and now is the right time, and there is plenty of supply in London, as Russians and Asians are buying fewer properties.
A real estate agent who oversees the sale of several luxury properties in the heart of London, says: "Demand has increased sharply since Trump turned the business world upside down with his tariff policy."
Many Americans are looking for a safe place to settle down, and London seems ideal for them to settle down and work in Europe from here. Moreover, the British pound is falling against the dollar. Over the past 10 years, the pound has lost a quarter of its value. Anyone with dollars and looking to invest in British real estate can now put a new roof over their heads for less.
In the first quarter of 2025, Americans accounted for approximately 7% of all high-end purchases in London, according to luxury real estate agency Knight Frank.
Today, approximately 180,000 Americans reside in Britain, many of whom are closely monitoring developments in their homeland under Trump.
