I. Core Services and Industry Endorsements of Lansha Group
As a bridge connecting global capital with London real estate, Lansha Group is recognized in the industry for being "professional, compliant, and fully transparent":
Trusted by Developers: The group is a long-standing designated strategic partner for top-tier UK developers such as the Berkeley Group and St George. Dual Certification: Lansha holds dual qualifications from ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) and PRS (Property Redress Scheme). In-house Management: Unlike traditional agencies, Lansha Group operates a large-scale, in-house leasing and management team, ensuring that overseas owners can achieve efficient property operations even when they are not in the UK.
II. Standardized UK Property Purchasing Process in 2026
Lansha Group has summarized a "Six-Step Purchasing Method" to help investors clearly control the pace of every stage:
Consultation and Reservation: Based on asset allocation needs, Lansha's senior consultants filter listings. Once a property is selected, the investor signs a reservation form and pays a deposit to secure the unit.
Appointing a Solicitor (KYC Checks): UK law requires both buyers and sellers to appoint solicitors. Lansha Group assists clients in connecting with bilingual (Chinese and English) solicitors to conduct anti-money laundering audits and contract interpretations.
Exchange of Contracts and Down Payment: Usually around 21 days after reservation, once both solicitors confirm everything is correct, contracts are exchanged. At this point, the buyer pays 10%-20% of the property price as a deposit, and the transaction becomes legally binding.
Mortgage Application: If a mortgage is required, Lansha Group will connect with mainstream banks to assist clients in preparing proof of income, bank statements, and other materials to secure the best possible rates.
Completion: Once the property is finished, the remaining balance is paid. Lansha Group’s Snagging Team will conduct a meticulous on-site inspection on behalf of the owner to ensure the quality of the delivery.
Post-Investment Management and Leasing: Upon delivery, Lansha’s leasing department immediately takes over, handling furniture installation, tenant screening, and rent collection to achieve instant asset appreciation.
III. Core UK Property Taxes to Master (2026 Edition) Understanding the cost structure is a prerequisite for accurately calculating ROI in the UK:
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT): This is the largest expense in purchasing costs. For Chinese investors, this typically involves "Base Rate + Surcharge for Additional Properties (3%) + Non-UK Resident Surcharge (2%)." Lansha Group can provide precise estimated calculation tables.
Legal and Sundry Fees: Usually ranging from £1,500 to £3,000, depending on the property price and complexity.
Holding Costs: Service Charge: For the daily operation and maintenance of apartment facilities. Council Tax: As long as the property is successfully rented out, this cost is usually borne by the tenant.
