The changes have meant that buyers will now have to fork over an additional 3 percent on second home purchases\u2014 a substantial chunk of money for some.<\/p>\n<p>Five other motivators driving UK money to the US include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Brexit &amp; Currency Values.<\/strong> The pound as compared to the USD initially took a huge hit in the first few months after <a href=\"real-trends-talks-the-brexits-potential-impact-on-u-s-real-estate\/\">Brexit<\/a> when the pound dropped from $1.47 down to $1.20. As of today, it is over $1.32, which is an indication that the pound is stabilizing and has the potential to increase, which is great for UK buyers who will get more \u2018bang for their buck\u2019 when investing in US property.<\/li>\n<li><strong>History Repeats Itself.<\/strong> The Brits have always had an affinity for buying US property.&nbsp; They have constantly been a frequent purchaser according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2017-Profile-of-International-Activity-in-US-Residential-Real-Estate.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2017 NAR report of foreign buyers purchasing in the US<\/a> \u2013 UK buyers ranked 4<sup>th<\/sup> in Miami, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in LA &amp; 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in New York.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Idyllic Weather.<\/strong> Few states in the US can compare with the formidable weather you will find in popular UK metros like London &amp; Edinburgh. New York City, for example, has fewer wet days than London and a higher average minimum and maximum temperatures year-round.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Convenient Flight Routes.<\/strong> There are dozens of opportunities per day to get from the US to London. For example, currently, there are 12 airlines that fly non-stop from London Heathrow to New York\u2019s major airports on a daily basis, totaling over 213 from London to New York.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Language Barriers.<\/strong> This is pretty straightforward; being able to speak the same language is a great boon and adds to the allure of living in the US where English is the first language as it is in the UK.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But above all, for anyone looking to tap into any new market, working with <a href=\"brokerage-industry-competition\/\">local brokerages<\/a> is a must-&nbsp; trying to attract buyers directly is always going to be difficult because of the hurdles and tremendous effort needed to get the deal done.
