香港BNO簽證如何影響英國樓市

英國專為香港BNO護照持有人推出的新移民計劃於2021年1月31日開始接受申請。這對英國物業市場有何影響?

過去數年,香港由於擬議修訂中國引渡條例,觸發社會動盪。2020年6月,中國透露可能為香港居民制定新的國家安全法。此舉導致英國首相約翰遜(Boris Johnson)修訂香港BNO護照持有人的移民規定,提供入籍英國的新途徑。

過去一個月,香港多名泛民主派政客和活躍人士被捕,遭指控涉嫌企圖顛覆香港政府。1月6日,香港根據國家安全法拘捕50多人。發生這些事件,加上BNO護照持有人的特殊簽證,可能導致大量香港居民移居英國。

新簽證接受申請

BNO護照持有人現時可經網上申請新簽證。合資格申請者可申請30個月或5年簽證。在英國居住五年後,很多人將可申請永居。12個月後,合資格人士可申請入籍英國。

英國政府估計約540萬香港居民合資格參加有關計劃。這相當於香港750萬人口約72%。估計有290萬BNO護照持有人,而他們的家屬約達230萬。此外,約187,000名年齡介乎18至23歲人士的父母至少一位持有BNO護照。

現時很難估計將有多少合資格香港居民會申請簽證移居英國。然而,英國政府預測未來五年將有30萬人申請簽證。英國內政部透露,自2020年7月以來,已有約7,000名香港人獲准在英國定居。

市場對英國物業的興趣大增

自新入籍途徑首次公佈以來,香港買家對英國物業的興趣激增。隨著簽證已接受申請,市場的興趣可能更大。市場對英國物業的興趣有望飆升,尤其是尋求入籍的買家。大多數政黨均視此為一項投資,有望推動英國的經濟發展。

倫敦尤其吸引香港買家和投資者進行大量投資。英國其他主要城市亦迎來濃厚投資意欲,包括曼徹斯特和利物浦。這些地區城市的物業和生活成本較可負擔,就業市場更是不斷增長。

除物業本身外,買家和投資者如能獲得專業協助,了解如何在英國購買物業,這同樣非常重要。這可確保他們獲取適合個人情況的最佳選項。投資者亦需要考慮購置物業、租金收入和出售策略。

購買物業方式會有多方面影響,並產生不同稅務結果。例如,以個人名義或有限公司名義購買物業,將影響財務選擇、應課稅收入和多項其他因素。BuyAssociation可協助投資者研究所有選項。
