As a Malaysian buyer or investor, finding a property in London can be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the rules and regulations of the UK. It can be daunting to understand different areas, and the legal requirements can get overwhelming. Fortunately, with the right expertise and knowledge, we at Benham and Reeves can simplify the process and make it much easier for you. As we go ahead, we will address the challenges Malaysians face when buying a home in London and show how connecting with us can make owning a London property a seamless and rewarding journey in just three simple steps. <\/p>\n

1. Schedule an appointment with our Kuala Lumpur office<\/h2>\n

\"Schedule<\/p>\n

Securing a home in London with Benham & Reeves Malaysia<\/a> is easier than you think. You can start by booking an appointment with our Kuala Lumpur office and engaging with our experienced team. Our comprehensive property services<\/a> will ensure you get a complete virtual tour of the shortlisted properties. You need not even visit London as our team is well-equipped to handle all the paperwork remotely by liaising with our branches across the UK capital. <\/p>\n

You only need to set a clear investment objective, as we can then tailor our services to suit your purpose of buying property<\/a>, whether you are buying for personal use, as an investment, for your children, or other reasons. Also, you will need to consider if you are looking for a single block or masterplan development, each with its own distinct pros and cons.<\/p>\n

2. Explore our after-sales service<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

In addition to providing you with all the relevant advisory consultations before and during the property purchase phase, we also take care of all the after-sales requirements. We will assist you with all the rental and tenancy procedures, legal compliances and council regulations, as well as filing tax returns. London attracts a large number of well-paying corporate tenants from different countries, including those from Japan for which we are one of the top letting agencies. With our global reach and association with InStyle Direct<\/a>, we can also provide high-quality, cost-effective furnishing and dressing solutions for your property to stand out on the rental market.<\/p>\n

3. Check your finances and send in an offer<\/h2>\n

\"Financial<\/p>\n

Securing property in London needs careful financial preparation. After picking your desired property and negotiating the property value, you need to send in an offer through our Malaysian office to secure your reservation. Selecting the right method of financing, whether through a Malaysian or UK bank or using cash, is important. Whether borrowing in Ringgit from a Malaysian bank or seeking a Buy-to-Let (BTL) loan from a UK bank, you need to understand the pros and cons. While a BTL loan may require a higher deposit, it will also consider the potential rental income as a factor in determining how much you can borrow. A normal mortgage on the other hand only considers your current financial ability to pay back the loan based on the documents provided.<\/p>\n

You must also take into account extra expenses like legal fees, stamp duty, financing charges, and furnishing costs when planning your budget. Considering the payment terms and having the necessary funds available as the completion date approaches is important.<\/p>\n

In addition to our dedicated office<\/a> in Kuala Lumpur, we have 21 branches across London, with over 65 years of experience<\/a> in the London property market. You can also follow us on social media (FB<\/a> and Insta<\/a>) for the latest London property updates, trends and upcoming events. To access our full range of services and make your London property<\/a> dreams come true, schedule a meeting with our Kuala Lumpur office today at:<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> A-0-13, Plaza Damas 3 Block A, Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur 50480.<\/p>\n

Hours of operation:<\/strong> 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Monday-Friday) <\/p>\n

Weekend Consultation: <\/strong>Book an appointment early for special weekend consultations.<\/p>\n
