Knight Frank, a global real estate consultancy has entered into partnership with Mount Anvil, a foremost UK property developer to offer savvy Nigerians opportunity to own premium real estate in London, one of the world’s most sought-after property markets.
This is a strategic move to bridge the gap between international real estate and Nigerian investors.
This partnership, according to Knight Frank also offers opportunity to growing number of Nigerian investors seeking stable and high-yield investment opportunities abroad, especially in real estate.
Speaking during the launch event, Senior Partner/CEO of Knight Frank Nigeria, Frank Okosun noted that the real estate sector had been significantly hit in recent years due to recession and unhealthy economic policies that have stifled investment, hence the need to lure foreign investors to Nigeria and vice visa through strategic developments like The Edit, which is London’s newest boutique development on the South Bank.
On his confidence that Nigerian investors will consider this opportunity, Okosun said in addition to its yields now in the future, “many Nigerians have their children in UK schools; this is an opportunity to provide shelter for those children to enhance their studies.”
He explained that a few investors who are not resident in UK can combine to own a property for rent so far they have good source of income. “Once they have a good source of income and their funds are genuine, they can purchase a property”
Also speaking at the event, Head of Africa Desk, Knight Frank UK, Ben Woodhams added that The Edit is an unmissable investment opportunity in London and it promises to set a new standard for curated quality and personalised service at home in London. “The development consists of 95 private apartments in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom options”, he explained.
He said the investors also “looking to generate a steady income stream in UK pounds, a hard currency that will serve them well into the future and protect and safeguard their wealth”.
He referred to London as gold in terms of real estate. “Some other markets are very volatile, they go up and down, there are crashes in those markets, but London is the financial centre of Europe.
During his presentation to guests at the event, Group Sales Director, Mount Anvil, Jon Hall disclosed that as part of the tailored approach for the scheme, all residents will enjoy state-of-the-art Swiss-made V-ZUG cooking appliances in each home, with each three-bedroom home and penthouse featuring a wider range of V-ZUG appliances. He explained that V-ZUG appliances combine professional-level precision, innovative technology and minimalist design, and are mostly found in top-rated restaurants around the world.
Residents of The Edit will be a stone’s throw from many of London’s most iconic landmarks, shopping, eateries, museums and galleries. In addition to walking and cycling, easy access to the tube, train and riverboat gives excellent connection to the rest of the city and beyond.
