Overseas investors remain the most significant investors in the UK with net investment of circa £6.0bn over the nine months to September 2008.

Investors from Germany, the Middle East, USA, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Russia, Denmark, Japan, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Canada, Sweden, India, and Australia have all been active.
Looking forward, the sharp repricing across the UK market relative to other major continental markets and the recent weakening in sterling will continue to attract these investors to the UK.
