Nick Green, Partner at international law firm Trowers & Hamlins, has once again contributed to the Bank of London & Middle East's (BLME) Home and Away report, which looks at how GCC real estate investors are allocating capital across the UK, Gulf, and US.
BLME (Bank of London and The Middle East Plc) is an independent UK Sharia’ah compliant bank and is the largest Islamic bank in Europe. The report features insights from some of the leading experts from across the GCC investor landscape.
The report examines the key factors driving GCC investors' capital allocation decisions, their perspective on the UK market, and the asset classes driving GCC demand. It sets out BLME's three key trends shaping international real estate allocation from the GCC in 2025:
- Transatlantic battle for capital: The UK and US continue to dominate international real estate investment appetite for the GCC, but the UK has a slight edge.
- Increased domestic competition: As the UAE and Saudi Arabia present more compelling opportunities, the UK and the US face growing competition for GCC capital from within the region’s own backyard.
- UK focus shifts to logistics: Within the UK, warehousing and logistics are becoming more favoured than the living sectors.
Nick Green, International Corporate Partner, commented:
"BLME's report provides an in-depth overview of the latest trends we are seeing in the UK real estate market for GCC investors, and provides insightful perspectives and recommendations for prospective investors. We are delighted to have contributed to the report once again amongst so many other well-known GCC / UK real estate experts."
