Built for landlords who are not in the UK

Most of our let-only landlords live outside the UK, in Canada, Vietnam, France, South Africa and elsewhere. Some moved abroad for work and kept their home. Others bought in London as an investment.

Either way, the problem is the same: you cannot call round with a set of keys, and you should not be taking a contractor's call at two in the morning. As an overseas landlord letting agent in London, we do the work on the ground and keep you informed in writing.

Since the Renters' Rights Act, a tenancy needs organised records and prompt replies on repairs. If you have no one in London, management is usually the safer choice. If you do, let only keeps your costs down.

Nothing Hidden

What lands in your inbox

You should never have to take our word for it. These are the documents every overseas landlord receives from us by email.

Tenant reference report

Credit, affordability, letting history and identity checks on the tenant we propose, with a clear recommendation.

Right to rent check record

The record of the right to rent check carried out on every adult occupier before the tenancy starts.

Check-in inventory with photographs

A dated, room-by-room record of the property's condition at move-in, prepared by AIIC-accredited clerks.

Listing performance updates

While the property is on the market: views, enquiries, viewings and our advice on the rent.

Tax

UK tax when you live abroad

If your usual home is outside the UK for six months or more, HMRC's Non-Resident Landlord Scheme applies to your rent. You can apply to HMRC on form NRL1 to receive your rent without tax deducted. We explain the scheme before your tenancy starts, so there are no surprises.

On management, where we collect the rent, we pay it to you in full once HMRC confirms your approval. Until then we are required to hold back basic rate tax and pay it to HMRC on your behalf, and an administration charge of £90 per quarter, including VAT, applies while we do. Rent is paid to a UK bank account as standard. Payment to an overseas account can be arranged, and a transfer charge may apply.

Read our NRL Scheme guide and the Overseas Landlord's Guide to Letting in London.

Repairs and emergencies

On management we hold an agreed repairs float, typically around £250 depending on the rent. It means a reasonable emergency call-out can be dealt with straight away, without waiting for you to wake up in another time zone.

Protected for 12 months

If a tenant we placed leaves within the first 12 months, we re-let at no additional letting fee. Standard service costs apply. This applies on let only and on management.

Overseas Landlord FAQs

Overseas landlords, your questions

Do I need to be in the UK at any point?

No. The valuation, signing, property preparation, viewings and move-in are all handled without you travelling. Documents reach you by email and you sign electronically, so an overseas landlord can let a London property from start to finish from abroad.

Do I need a UK phone number?

No. Enter any phone number on the enquiry form, including an international one, or tell us you prefer WhatsApp or email. We reply in writing, so there is no need to arrange a call during UK office hours.

Who holds the keys while I am abroad?

With your agreement, we do. We hold a set of keys while the property is prepared and marketed, use them for accompanied viewings, and hand them to your tenant at move-in, so you do not need someone in London to do it for you.

Let only or management, which is right for an overseas landlord?

If someone you trust in London can deal with the tenant, the rent and repairs, let only keeps your costs down. If you have nobody on the ground, management is usually the safer choice, because we collect the rent, arrange repairs and keep the certificates current.

How is UK tax on my rent handled?

Through HMRC's Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, which applies when your usual home is outside the UK for six months or more. You can apply to HMRC on form NRL1 to receive rent without tax deducted. We explain how it works before your tenancy starts.

What does it cost?

Let only costs 7.5% (Pack One) or 8.5% (Pack Two) of the first year's rent, including VAT, paid once when the tenancy starts. Management is 8% Standard or 10% Fully Managed of the rent collected, charged monthly from month two, on top of the initial let pack.
