Owning London property from abroad

Many of our clients live outside the UK. We act as their local team: buying, managing and protecting their London property so they don't have to be here.

How we help

Owning property in another country brings questions of rules, timing and trust. We give overseas owners a single dedicated contact in London, protected client accounts, and video calls at times that suit your time zone.

Finding and assessing opportunities, with clear numbers before you commit
Day-to-day management, rent collection and monthly statements in one report
Keeping you compliant with UK letting rules, including the Renters' Rights Act 2025
Coordinating with your UK solicitor, accountant and lender
Inspections, photos and updates, so you always know the state of your property

Practical matters, handled

UK tax on rent

Overseas landlords fall under HMRC's Non-Resident Landlord Scheme. We work with your accountant so rent is handled correctly, whether tax is deducted at source or you are approved to receive rent gross.

How you own it

Whether you buy personally or through a UK company, we coordinate with your solicitor and accountant from the outset.

Seeing without travelling

Video viewings and walk-throughs let you assess a property from wherever you are, with a written report after every visit.

One clear report

A single monthly statement covering rent, expenditure and work carried out, with photos when something needs your attention.

How we start

01

A video call

At a time that suits your time zone, we discuss your property, your plans and how you like to be kept informed.

02

A written proposal

Scope, fees and timetable set out clearly before you commit to anything.

03

Handover and compliance check

We take over keys and documents, check every certificate is in order and introduce your dedicated contact.
