Investment migration — the rule, as checked 24.09.2026

No property route

Buying property in the United Kingdom confers no immigration permission. The Tier 1 (Investor) route closed to new applicants at 16:00 on 17 February 2022, and even while open it excluded investment in property; no replacement grants residence for passive investment.

Existing Tier 1 holders could extend until 17 February 2026 and may apply for settlement until 17 February 2028.

This jurisdiction in the register

22 records, 21 with a published page. Each record carries the facts this rule turns on — entry price, seller, and where the rule distinguishes them, first sale, fractional sale, construction status, tenure — each dated and sourced.

The register publishes the rule and the facts; it does not say whether any purchase qualifies. Eligibility attaches to a sale, not to a building, and the register is not immigration counsel. All jurisdictions →
