Foreign investment is helping to deliver new housing for UK residents and supporting jobs and long-term economic growth.</p><p> </p><p>Following the financial crisis and subsequent recession, foreign investment in new housing has been helping to provide the finance needed to build homes. Without upfront investment from buyers, financiers would not have released the cash needed for development to go ahead, and building would have stalled.</p><p> </p><p>These new developments not only provide homes, they also unlock associated affordable housing development In 2013, Savills suggested in their report “Spotlight World in London” that international sales of newly built properties helped to finance 3,000 new affordable homes that may otherwise not have been built.</p><p> </p><p>In their report of July 2014, Savills estimate that “those buying an investment property from overseas only account for an estimated 7 per cent of all greater London residential transactions”.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis grouped question UIN 933 question first answered 08/06/2015 13:25:07 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
