Our Property Services
UK Buy-to-Let Investment
We help expats identify, finance, and acquire UK buy-to-let properties that generate consistent rental income and long-term capital growth. Our end-to-end service covers strategy, mortgage advice, legal support, and ongoing management introductions.
Expat Mortgage Advice
Securing a mortgage as an expat is significantly more complex than for UK residents. We work with specialist lenders who understand expat circumstances — helping you access competitive mortgage rates regardless of where you live or what currency you earn in.
Limited Company Structures
Many expat property investors benefit from holding UK property within a limited company. We advise on whether incorporation is right for your situation and guide you through setup — covering tax implications, mortgage options, and ongoing reporting requirements.
Property Tax Planning
Non-resident landlords face specific UK tax obligations: income tax on rental profits, capital gains tax on disposals, and ATED for high-value properties. We ensure your property is structured and managed in the most tax-efficient way possible.
Portfolio Planning
We help you think strategically about building your property portfolio — from your first UK buy-to-let through to a diversified multi-property portfolio. We model returns, leverage, tax implications, and exit strategies in detail.
Letting Support
We introduce clients to trusted, professional letting agents who understand expat landlords — ensuring properties are well managed, tenants are properly vetted, and rental income arrives reliably month after month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a UK mortgage as an expat?
Yes, though it is more complex than for UK residents. Specialist expat mortgage lenders assess applications differently, considering foreign income, currency, residency status, and visa type. We work with lenders who specialise in expat mortgages.
Is it better to hold property personally or through a limited company?
This depends on your tax position, income level, and long-term plans. For many expats — particularly higher-rate taxpayers — a limited company structure offers significant tax advantages. We analyse your situation and recommend the most efficient approach.
Do I pay tax on UK rental income as a non-resident?
Yes. Non-resident landlords are subject to UK income tax on rental profits. However, you can register under the Non-Resident Landlord scheme and receive rent gross while managing your tax obligations through HMRC. We advise on the most efficient structure.
Can you help me find a property to buy?
We focus on financial advice, mortgage sourcing, and tax planning rather than estate agency. However, we can introduce you to trusted property sourcing professionals and new development opportunities that suit your investment criteria.
