After Brexit was voted in last year, the British pound became relatively cheap leaving room for outside people to make an investment in buildings in London. London became a popular spot because of the over eight billion people who live there. With prices on real estate dropping, Hong Kong is taking advantage and buying businesses and land at a rapid pace. Hong Kong and the United Kingdom have had great ties together and Hong Kong is putting stricter laws buying in the mainland so this is a good asset from both sides.
