Chandigarh 29th November:- Nearly one in two billionaires
(47%) in India believed and invested in overseas education for their children,
way above the global average (28%) and the Asia average of 38%, according to
The Wealth Report 2017 by Knight Frank. Now, the Knight Frank Education Report
2017, which examines the housing market around key schools in the UK, has
revealed that education has become a critical driver of demand across prime
residential markets in the country.
Liam Bailey, Knight Frank’s Global
Head of Research, said that good schools are a key driver of the housing market
and their presence often helps to drive local property prices. The world’s
wealthy want their children to be global citizens with school careers often
spread across multiple locations whilst they gain insight into different
cultures and languages. According to the report findings, ultra-high-net-worth
individuals (UHNWI) in Asia rated education at 8 on a scale of 10 among
essential factors influencing overseas property buys. It also showed that prime
property prices around key London schools have risen significantly over the
last five years. While the average surge in property prices around top schools
in the British capital was 49.5%, similar neighbourhoods in Home Counties
recorded an increase of 45.5%. The global demand for berths in UK schools has
also risen over the past 10 years. The number of students from Asia joining UK
public schools between school year 2005/2006 and 2015/2016 increased by 41%.
Students enrolling in UK schools from India rose by 19% during the same period.
