Up to 6% rental yield, 35 enquiries per unit - Why Taiwanese investors are choosing The Green Quarter

The Green Quarter in Southall is one of West London’s most active buy-to-let addresses right now. Rental yields at this development are reaching up to 6%, tenant enquiries are running at close to 35 per available unit and properties are letting within days of coming to market.

For Taiwanese investors looking at London property, these are the numbers that matter and Benham and Reeves is the only agency with a branch within the development itself.

What makes this opportunity particularly accessible from Taiwan?

The entire process, from initial consultation to purchase to ongoing management, can be handled locally in Mandarin by a team based in Taipei. No international flights required.

The rental case, in plain numbers

Benham and Reeves manages lettings at The Green Quarter from an on-site branch, next to the Parkside Yards concierge. This proximity matters because when a unit becomes available, our team handles viewings immediately, without coordinating with external parties who have no relationship with the building.

The results also reflect this; landlords who instruct Benham and Reeves at The Green Quarter are achieving rental yields of up to 6%. Fully furnished units account for over 96% of all enquiries. Besides, in one recent example, a one-bedroom apartment was let within 72 hours of listing at the full asking rent of £1,650 per month and a two-bedroom in the same week went for £2,100.

As an overseas landlord, if you cannot easily travel to inspect a property or chase a letting agent, having a team embedded within the development is not a convenience; it is the difference between a professionally managed asset and an unmanaged liability.

The Green Quarter: What the development is

The Green Quarter is a large-scale masterplan by Berkeley Group, spread across 88 acres of canalside land in Southall, West London. This luxurious development comprises over a thousand apartments across multiple phases, alongside a 4.5-acre central park, a kilometre of canal promenade, co-working spaces, retail and a 24-hour concierge. Interestingly, half of the site is dedicated to open space.

Berkeley Group is one of the most recognised names in London residential development. This company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has a long track record of delivering large regeneration schemes across the capital. Investors who have researched London property will almost certainly have encountered Berkeley developments before.

For those who have not, Berkeley Group is a London Stock Exchange-listed developer; transparent financials, institutional accountability and the track record to deliver at scale.

Benham and Reeves is Berkeley Group’s Premier Club Agent since 2023, a recognition that reflects the depth and longevity of the relationship between the two companies. With 21 branches across London and on-site presence at a number of Berkeley’s flagship developments, Benham and Reeves has a level of access to these schemes that general market agents simply do not have.

The Elizabeth Line and why it changed Southall

Southall Station is a short walk from The Green Quarter and sits on the Elizabeth Line. From here, commuters can reach Paddington in under 15 minutes and overseas travel is easy with Heathrow Airport under 10 minutes away. This convenience positions The Green Quarter well for the tenant profile that generates the most consistent demand: London-based professionals who need central access and international travellers who value proximity to the airport.

The Elizabeth Line opening has also had a measurable effect on local rents; rental growth in Southall outpaced both the wider Borough of Ealing and the London average by more than 50% over the past few years.

Benham and Reeves Taiwan: The full investment process

We handle the complete investment process on your behalf in Taipei. Benham and Reeves opened its Taiwan office in 2025, based in Taipei City’s Taipei 101 tower. Our team comprises multilingual property consultants who work exclusively on London property advising Taiwanese investors in Mandarin, on Taiwan time, without any requirement to travel to the UK

This covers the full process: initial investment consultation, property selection, purchase coordination, furnishing, lettings, compliance and ongoing management reporting. From the moment a Taiwanese investor begins exploring The Green Quarter to the point of receiving a monthly rent statement, the entire relationship can be managed from Taiwan.

For investors who are new to London property, this matters in a way that is difficult to overstate. The complexities of a UK purchase, solicitors, mortgage options, stamp duty, tenancy compliance and tax reporting are navigated by a team that understands both the UK market and the concerns of Taiwanese buyers. The language barrier and time zone gap, which are often the most significant friction points in cross-border investment, do not apply here.
