Loading player...
Interest rates are going up in the UK and the property market growth in the retail sector has slowed down substantially. So is it still a good destination for South Africans wishing to hedge their investments against instability in South Africa? Migrant specialists, Sable International, say it is. Group international director of Sable International, Andrew Rissik, and the director of the real estate division, Megan Copley, told BizNews about opportunities in the UK, and how South Africans prefer projects with returns in the short term. Rissik believes the UK still offers fantastic hedging for retail property investors and Sable has recently formed a partnership with API Global Solutions, a global property sourcing company, to identify the best areas to invest in the UK. Managing Director of API Global, Mike Leighton, told BizNews how they use market indicators, infrastructure and government spend to come up with the best areas in the UK to invest in, and who they partner with to make it a seamless process. – Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.
