I bought an apartment in the UK a number of years ago, I am very happy with my investment and intend later on(when I semi retire) spending a couple of months there in UK summer (winter is *****). Currently rented with a managing agent looking after things. Taxation is paid in RSA, accountants add income(less interest and expenses)to my local tax return.Current interest accounts in UK very good for buy to let, have overseas Barclays account, moved money through legitimate reserve bank approval using overseas allowance. Your call, lots of hassles to make it happen in terms of banks,paperwork etc however whatever your longer term desire is you must decide. Lib Int good call, however invested in UK retail which is taking a bit of a bath at the moment, however going forward good upside potential.
