Area Overview
Description
London is the capital of the United Kingdom and a leading global prime property market. Foreign buyers may freely acquire freehold and leasehold property without residency requirements. Key tax regulations include a 2% non-UK-resident SDLT surcharge (since April 2021) stacking on standard stamp duty. Under the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022, foreign entities owning UK land must disclose beneficial owners via the Register of Overseas Entities (ROE). The non-domiciled tax regime was abolished in April 2025, impacting inheritance tax structures. Purchasing property is an investment only and does not grant UK residency (Tier 1 Investor visa closed in 2022).
