You own the home, you just might not have the passport to live there. Its common in the UK for property to be owned by foreigners (at least some areas), its considered a good investment due to long term gains that have occured in UK. There is a growing population unlike some countries and despite all the worries in the news recently its one of the worlds richest and safest places to own property or many assets. I believe London property is popular with Chinese investors, its complained about perhaps but theres no law against simple capitalist ventures like that. Investment is a positive and part of capitalism, theres no real negative or reason the lotto of that type couldnt pay out so far as I know - private property in protected in law and you'd have to be some kind of criminal to be treated differently even foreigners have legal rights to own afaik. Law cases are often settled in UK for these reasons, finance is favoured here in a similar way and they dont just curse or mistreat foreign owners because they can as its literally going to damage revenue for government, its a point of pride put it that way. Worst case is they put it up for sale and deal with perhaps storage costs on the Lambo meanwhile, still a win
UK has an advantage over USA for housing, no taxes on empty addresses. I think USA might have the better weather for long term car storage though, I presume a Lambo is indoors most of the time anyway though
Thanks for this explanation and indeed it makes more sense to me now.
But still, I have some doubts because I am sure that not every citizen from Afganistan or Irak is able to legally own a property in the USA, UK or from any other country they are at war right now.
That are the countries I am thinking, not EU or even China as you see but I didn't want to mention them to not upset anybody who is living there.
