London-based property investment firm has launched its residential project in India before introducing it in the UK market. The FTSE, a project developed by the Burkeley Group, is posted at the iconic Kia Oval Cricket Ground and is shown to Indian buyers in Mumbai, marking the growing impact of the Indian capital in London's high-value property segment.
“The decision to launch in India is not only symbolic first – it is strategic. Indian buyers now make more than half of our investor base, and this number keeps increasing,” he said.
According to Savills, Indian investors were ranked among the top five foreign buyers in Prime Central London in 2024. Knight Frank data shows that Indian investment in Britain increased by more than 17% last year, with high-pure-valued person and family office in-charge. Luxury London's properties have been made more accessible due to the soft pounds, while rental yields in external prime areas are now an average of 4.5–5.5%. Indian student migration and commercial dynamics are promoting and promoting demand, leading India to one of the fastest growing buyer segments in the UK Housing Market.
From sports to real estate, Jewel and Chris Tremlet, director, a former England cricketer, has created a niche business, now manages over £ 150 million, mainly for individuals (HNWIS), family offices and finance professionals. In the last decade, the firm's Indian customer has increased from 35% pre-coved to 54% today-a change has been given fuel by dynamics, currency arbitration and strong cultural relations in Britain.
The Hello Development has 199 ultra-wooded apartments, which present direct views at the Oval Cricket Ground. Between £ 580,000 and £ 5 million, the standout feature is a set of 20 penthouse watching the pitch, which is already causing heavy interest. “Around 60% of our waiting list is made up of Indian buyers,” Jewel said. “There is a strong emotional relationship-a house owner with a view of Kia Oval is deeply echoed with cricket-loving families in India.” The project is slapped to complete by 2028, beyond the 2027 Ashes series, a unique investment opportunity for initial buyers in search of a high-procession, lifestyle, and potential exit, a high-profile sporting milstone in a high-profile sporting milstone.
“Indian investors are becoming one of the most dynamic buyer segments in the UK property market, which is reopening the demand for Central London and beyond.”
Constant weakness of British pounds-approximately 104, is about 10% less than its five-year average-dramatically improved for Indian buyers. Is a £ 1 million property now effectively cost? Encouraged 1 crore less, dollars- and rupee-backed investors to enter or expand their portfolio than two years ago.
According to Knight Frank's UK Housing Market update (March 2025), London's Prime Property Market is entering a recovery phase. While the average prices across the UK are stabilizing with only 0.5% year-on-year growth, Prime Central locations have seen an increase of 6.5% in rental prices, even capital prices have signed slightly for ideal conditions for income-operated investors.
“Prime and Outer-Prime London now have a yield between 4% and 5.5%, and can touch 6% to 8% in cities such as Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield,” Tom explained. “For our Indian customers, who are often used for sub -3% returns in Indian metro, these figures are incredibly attractive.”
The increase in Indian students and families to be transferred to Britain has another layer pair in this boom. More than 140,000 Indian citizens obtained student visas in 2024, 35% year-on-year, which increased the demand for students housing, purchase-se-altars and primary family houses in areas such as Kensington, Ealing and Hammrit.
Indian HNWIS UK Real Estate is not only used as a yield-efficiency property, but also as an inheritance and lifestyle investment-to handle their families for international education, migration route and border trade network.
Since London continues to strengthen its position as a global safe shelter for real estate investment, the prominence of Indian capital is expected to increase even further. With favorable market conditions, deep cultural connections and strong economic basic things, Indian investors are no longer a fringe contestant – they are now shaping the future of the UK Real Estate.
