A growing number of US citizens are leaving the country and heading to the Prime London property market in search of more stability, broker Enness Global claimed.
Some 5,000 United States citizens expatriated in 2025, the broker found, before predicting number to rise in 2026.
Since Donald Trump first took office in 2017 the number of US citizens choosing to leave the country is estimated to have increased by an average of 25.7% per year.
Islay Robinson, chief executive of Enness Global, said: “Whether people agree with President Trump and his policies or not, there’s no denying that periods of political change and uncertainty can create volatility and leave sections of the population feeling unsettled.
“As a result, the number of US citizens choosing to expatriate has risen in 2025 following his re-election, and the longer-term trend since his first term in office has been striking.
“With President Trump beginning 2026 amid renewed controversy, it’s reasonable to expect this trend to continue, however from a UK perspective, the consequence has been a clear increase in American interest in London property – particularly across prime neighbourhoods.
“With interest rates now trending downwards and prime London property values remaining subdued, the current market presents a compelling window of opportunity and for US buyers with the ability to act, now is very much the time to do so.”
The US started the year by removing Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro, in signs that Trump’s divisive Presidency is only set to continue.
