Knight Frank, a global real estate consultancy firm in collaboration with Mount Anvil, a foremost UK property developer has unveiled ‘The Edit’, a real estate investment opportunity in London to Nigerian investors.

Speaking at the launch in Lagos, Senior Partner/Chief Executive, Knight Frank Nigeria, Mr. Frank Okosun, said that the partnership was a strategic opportunity to growing a number of Nigerian investors seeking stable and high-yield investment opportunities abroad, especially in real estate.

He added that the move was intended to bridge the gap between international real estate and Nigerian investors.

Okosun said that the real estate sector had been significantly hit in recent years due to recession and unhealthy economic policies that have stifled investment, hence the need to lure foreign investors to Nigeria and vice visa through strategic developments like The Edit, which is London’s newest boutique development on the South Bank.

He said: “Many Nigerians have their children in UK schools; this is an opportunity to provide shelter for those children to enhance their studies.

“Investors who are not resident in UK can combine to own a property for rent provided that they have good source of income and their funds are genuine, they can purchase a property”.

Also speaking at the event, Head of Africa Desk, Knight Frank UK, Mr. Ben Woodhams, added that The Edit is an unmissable investment opportunity in London and it promises to set a new standard for curated quality and personalised service at home in London.

“The development consists of 95 private apartments in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom options”, he explained.

In his presentation, Group Sales Director, Mount Anvil, Mr Jon Hall, disclosed that as part of the tailored approach for the scheme, all residents would enjoy state-of-the-art Swiss-made V-ZUG cooking appliances in each home, with each three-bedroom home and penthouse featuring a wider range of V-ZUG appliances.

He said that V-ZUG appliances combine professional-level precision, innovative technology and minimalist design, andare mostly found in top-rated restaurants around the world.

“Residents of The Edit will be a stone’s throw from many of London’s most iconic landmarks, shopping, eateries, museums and galleries. In addition to walking and cycling, easy access to the tube, train and riverboat gives excellent connection to the rest of the city and beyond.”
