According to estate agency Knight Frank, US buyers accounted for 7.6% of all overseas property sales in the year leading up to April 2023, a significant increase from 3.9% in the previous 12-month period.<\/span><\/p>\n

The surge in American buyers in London can be attributed, in part, to the influx of tech workers from San Francisco.
