Are foreigners allowed to own property in UK?

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in England. Non-UK citizens are able to purchase residential and commercial property in England, as long as they meet certain criteria.

In addition, foreign buyers may be subject to additional taxes and fees," said another expat in UK.
