Is there any conflict with official Chinese government policy?
Previously, it was difficult for outward investment from China.
However, recent rulings from the Chinese Government has now created a route for Chinese investors to reinvest cash into the UK as long as it is recycled from an existing property venture, or raised by non-Chinese banks.
In addition, government approval will no longer be required for any overseas investment from China relating to infrastructure and development, even if the funds are currently in China and not yet invested overseas. This will give Chinese investors access to the UK property market.
