The Effect of Foreign Investment on UK Housing Supply

Share

Foreign investment continues to play a complex role in UK housing.

On one hand, it:

  • Injects capital into development
  • Supports regeneration projects
  • Expands rental supply in certain segments

On the other, it can:
• Distort pricing in prime markets
• Concentrate ownership
• Fuel political and regulatory scrutiny

The reality is nuanced. Foreign capital is neither purely beneficial nor purely harmful; it is conditional on where and how it is deployed.

At DXXV, housing supply is analysed through outcomes, not narratives. Capital that delivers homes matters more than capital origin.
