What challenges do Malaysian landlords face when managing London property?

Managing a London property from abroad can be stressful. Landlords often juggle multiple agents, contractors, and compliance specialists, each with their own processes. Even furnishing and letting a flat can mean endless emails and late-night calls across time zones.
Compliance adds another layer of pressure. UK property rules cover Right to Rent checks, EPC certificates, electrical safety inspections, and deposit protection schemes. These regulations change often, and missing a requirement can lead to fines, especially difficult to avoid when managing from abroad.
Empty periods also reduce returns. Every week a property sits vacant means lost rental income, and when tenant issues arise, the time difference can make it harder to respond quickly. What could have been a minor repair can easily grow into a costly problem.
What does a 360° property service include?
A 360° property management in London looks after every stage of ownership with one accountable team. It starts with purchase support, where landlords in Malaysia can consult locally while our London team manages viewings, negotiations, and transactions, so the property can be secured without you needing to travel.
Once the property is bought, furnishing services turn empty rooms into tenant-ready homes. Rather than procuring individual items, landlords can opt for design-led packages tailored to London’s rental market, which can be installed within a few days.
Legal and compliance checks are also covered. Safety certificates, tenant verification, and deposit protection are managed systematically by our team, who stay up to date with UK regulations, reducing the risk of costly fines.
We handle inspections, maintenance, rent collection, and renewals, allowing landlords to receive clear monthly statements and peace of mind.
Who is our furnishing partner and why does it matter?

We work with InStyle Direct to provide furnishing packages created for London rentals. As Benhams’ furnishing partner, they can install everything within 24 to 48 hours (subject to stock and access).The result is a home that looks professional, photographs well, and is move-in-ready for tenants. With furnishing and lettings managed side by side, marketing can begin as soon as installation is done, which helps reduce empty periods.
