London is one of the world's most established and liquid property markets, with a long record of capital appreciation in sterling. Values have also fallen in several cycles, and past performance is not a guide to future returns.
Additional Advantages for Azerbaijan
- Introductions to regulated immigration advisers — buying property does not confer UK immigration rights
- UK university education infrastructure for children
- AZN–GBP conversion support
- Mortgage options for non-resident buyers
- Tax treaty considerations
Stamp Duty for Azerbaijani Buyers
