Investing in the UK

[Karim Shah]

I'm curious has anybody from the States invested or is thinking of investing in the UK?

[Diedre Bullah]

I would,if the properties were owner financed....

[Karim Shah]

Hi Diedre,

Owner financing in the standard form is slightly problematic in the UK. However, lease options work well there.

Do you invest outside the US?

[Eddie Ziv]

If you were ever concerned about taxes, regulations, and consumer protection here in the States, brace yourself if you want to invest in GB

[Diedre Bullah]

I am very interested.Please send me more information.....

Eddie, I agree UK does have questionable taxes. There are higher levels of regulation regarding safety certificates, protection of rent deposits and evictions. But, I pleased to say that we are much more landlord / investor friendly than all other European countries (IMHO) :lol:

 My group is interested in potentially investing in Eastleigh / Southampton. Do you have any knowledge or good info in those markets? 

Thanks so much!

Curious about UK rent control laws. Do they have them? What other laws make it easier/harder to landlord there?

 There are relatively no rent control laws in the private sector. For social / public housing yes there are rent control rules. 

The laws are similar to the more regulated housing markets in the USA. Such as New York or CA.
