George said: “Would I ever return to America? Not while Trump is in power. And there’s a real danger he will never give up power. “Rather than it being about making money, they are most likely motivated by the fact that prime London properties are 10 to 20 per cent lower than they were a couple of years ago, so this, together with a more stable political outlook , seems like it is a good time to buy.”
Pages with information about relocating to specific countries also gained traction. Norway was the most popular, followed by the UK, Ireland and Costa Rica. “Many dollar buyers have taken advantage and over the past year in particular, a significant proportion of our clients have been dollar-pegged. However, in 20 years of doing this job, I can’t recall quite so many Americans buying as now, on the back of the political situation in the US.”
