Top 10 lettings tips for London landlords l UK property management guide for Taiwanese Investors

Renting out a property in London as an overseas landlord raises a few obvious questions: how do you keep void periods down, stay on the right side of UK compliance rules and actually secure consistent rent month to month?

This video is aimed at both groups: landlords who already hold property in London and want to tighten up how it's run and Taiwanese investors who are about to buy their first UK buy-to-let and want to know what's involved before they commit.

Nick, based at our London head office, goes through ten pieces of advice he gives overseas landlords specifically, drawn from what he sees come up again and again.

He covers where rental yields tend to get left on the table and how to claw some of that back, along with:

• Where to buy: which locations tend to hold tenant demand and why that matters more than the headline price.
• Tenant referencing: what we actually check before placing a tenant in your property.
• Tax compliance: the Non-Resident Landlord scheme and what overseas owners are required to declare.
• Furnishing: how the right setup affects both rental value and how quickly a property lets.

None of this requires you to be hands-on. The Benham & Reeves Taipei team handles the London side of things in Mandarin, with no time difference to work around, so your property is managed locally while you collect the income from Taiwan without needing to chase anything yourself.
