Those looking to invest in property in the United Kingdom are divided on whether their buy-ins\u00a0will reap returns, industry experts said.<\/p>\n

After its vote to leave the European Union, also known as Brexit on June 23, the pound has\u00a0experienced an 11 percent drop in value against the Singapore dollar. In the week of June 27, it fell\u00a0to a record low of $1.7825.<\/p>\n

Industry experts told TODAY<\/a> that a weakened pound is a double-edged sword for Singapore\u00a0investors. While it makes it easier for them to acquire properties there, the currency could weaken\u00a0further, diminishing the value of assets and limiting gains from sales.<\/p>\n

\"It
It is still early to tell if investing in London properties post-Brexit is a good move<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This has caused a lull in the market, according to London property consultants JOHNS&CO.<\/p>\n

Investors are \u201ctoo clouded by the range of uncertainties happening in the UK, with so much mixed\u00a0and often-conflicting opinions,\u201d said Mr Duncan Peacock, who manages its Singapore offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cFocus will be on the more immediate projects coming to life, rather than those completing later\u00a0down the line due to the lengthened payment structures. For others, they will adopt a wise wait-and-see attitude,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mrs Doris Tan, regional director of British real-estate firm Strawberry Star quipped: \u201cBrexit came\u00a0as a surprise to many people, and it is still early days to say whether this is a good or bad time to\u00a0purchase. Nothing much will happen in the property market as summer is normally a \u2018holiday\u2019\u00a0period.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCome autumn and winter, activity will return, which should give an indication of where the\u00a0London property market is heading,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In the two years leading to June 2015, Asian investors channeled US$22.2 billion ($29.91 billion)\u00a0to property in the UK, a Knight Frank report showed. Singapore was the largest investor at US$6.44\u00a0billion ($8.68 billion).<\/p>\n
