Frequently asked questions

What are the most common questions potential clients ask you about buying or selling property internationally?

Yes, international buyers can purchase property in the UK freely — whether for personal use or as an investment. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership. When buying, you’ll need to decide which type of ownership suits your goals: Freehold – You own the property and the land outright. Leasehold – You own the property for a fixed term (commonly 99–999 years), but not the land. Most London apartments are leasehold. Share of Freehold – A mix of both: you own your flat and share ownership of the building’s freehold, giving more control over management. (We guide our clients in choosing the best structure depending on their lifestyle or investment strategy.)

What assurances can you give someone who's nervous about making property deals in a different country?

We completely understand that buying property abroad can feel overwhelming — especially in a market as complex as London. That’s why our role as your consultancy is to remove uncertainty and give you complete confidence at every step. Transparent Legal Framework: The UK has one of the most secure property systems in the world. Ownership rights are strongly protected by law, and every transaction goes through strict due diligence. Independent Advice: Unlike estate agents who represent sellers, we represent you, the buyer. Our recommendations are based solely on your interests and goals. Full Process Guidance: From selecting the right property, verifying ownership (freehold, leasehold, share of freehold), to completing the purchase — we guide you through each stage so nothing is left unclear. Remote & Convenient: You don’t have to be in London to proceed. We arrange secure digital signings, virtual tours, and transparent reporting so you can move forward with confidence, wherever you are. Cultural Understanding: We work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and understand that every buyer has unique priorities — whether that’s privacy, family space, schooling, financing preferences, or long-term legacy planning. In short, our assurance is this: you will never be left to navigate the UK market alone — we act as your trusted partner, making the process safe, clear, and aligned with your investment goals.

What are some important things someone should know before buying or selling property abroad?

When buying or selling property abroad, there are a few important things to consider:

  • Ownership options – Freehold, leasehold, or share of freehold.

  • Costs – Purchase price, taxes, and fees.

  • Legal requirements – Ensuring everything is secure and above board.

  • Financing – Mortgages and payment options for international buyers.

  • Location – Choosing the right area for lifestyle or investment goals.

  • Personal preferences – Privacy, family needs, amenities, or investment focus.
