Record-breaking levels of US investment into the UK could help revive London’s weary property market, investment firm Enness Global has predicted.
During the recent US State visit some £150 billion of transatlantic investment commitments were made.
These include a £100 billion investment from Blackstone, £3.9 billion from logistics and life sciences giant Prologis, £1.5 billion from defence technology firm Palantir, and £150 million from Amentum, alongside a string of high-value pledges from Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Salesforce and CitiGroup.
Islay Robinson, chief executive of Enness Global, said: “The scale and diversity of these commitments – spanning technology, energy, finance, and defence – will not only strengthen the wider economy, but also filter directly into the housing market through job creation, inward migration, and renewed investor appetite.
“Such notable strategic foreign investment can offset domestic headwinds and for London in particular, where supply remains tight and sentiment subdued, this could mark the beginning of a meaningful property market recovery.”
Enness Global estimated that this wave of US investment could deliver an additional 1% to 3% uplift over baseline growth in London property values over the next 12 to 24 months.
Given the capital’s current average house price of £565,500, prices are expected to rise to approximately £597,000.
US contact enquiries to the Enness Global website have increased by more than 16% over the latest quarter, while the number of new users visiting the site is up by almost 40% year-on-year.
