Knight Frank's 2017 The Wealth Report found Australia is a key destination for this real estate investment by international high-net-worth individuals.
Globally, the number of Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) - those with $30m or more in net assets – rose by 6,340 in 2016, taking the total to 193,490, according to data provided by New World Wealth for The Wealth Report. This growth reverses the decline of 3% seen in 2015.
“Australia is a key focus internationally for the super-rich," said Lord Andrew Hay, Knight Frank’s Global Head of Residential.
"Sydney and Melbourne have made it into the top 10 list of most important cities globally for the wealthiest to invest, according to the Knight Frank City Wealth Index. Sydney ranked 4th and Melbourne ranked 10th in the ‘investment’ category," he said.
Australia appeals to these investors because it is considered to be a fiscal and political ‘safe haven’ and it offers an excellent quality of life, said Lord Hay.
The home is close to private and public schools, is in the heart of a strong community, and is the ideal property in which to create a family home, said Knight Frank’s Prestige Residential Sales Executive, Australia Richard Sholl.
