From UK Leadership to Global Synergy: A Strategic Leap Forward
Against the backdrop of rising global demand for diversified asset allocation in 2026, LANSHA UK (hereinafter referred to as “lansha”) officially announces a milestone advancement in its global expansion strategy. With the formal establishment of three overseas divisions in the United States, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and Japan, lansha has achieved in-depth coverage across the core property markets of Europe, Asia, and North America.
At the same time, with the official launch of its private immigration and outbound mobility services, lansha has successfully built a closed-loop ecosystem integrating “global real estate allocation + cross-border mobility services,” marking a new era in comprehensive cross-border solutions.
Chapter One: Global Strategic Map — In-Depth Assessment and Value Anchors of the Three Overseas Divisions
1.1 UAE Division: Anchoring the Middle East Core and Capturing Dubai’s Prime Asset Opportunities
In November 2025, the core hub of lansha’s UAE Division—its Dubai office—was officially launched in Business Bay. This strategic move not only represents lansha’s long-term commitment to the Middle East market, but also reflects a precise judgment of global capital flow trends heading into 2026.
Market Momentum Data: In 2024, Dubai recorded 18.72 million overnight international visitors, representing a year-on-year increase of 9%, with particularly strong growth from Chinese travelers. This robust tourism spillover effect has directly translated into resilient demand for residential rentals and short-term holiday lets.
Economic Fundamentals: Under Dubai’s “D33 Agenda,” approximately USD 82.4 billion in public budget investment is planned for the 2026–2028 fiscal period, accelerating the city’s transition toward a diversified, non-resource-dependent economy. Through its localized professional team, lansha provides end-to-end buying and leasing services across Dubai and the wider Middle East, precisely addressing the asset preservation and diversification needs of high-net-worth clients.
1.2 US Division: Focusing on the New York Metropolitan Area to Empower Premium Cross-Border Homeownership
The US property market has long been regarded as a global safe haven for asset allocation. lansha’s US Division strategically centers on New York, a world-leading hub for finance, education, and capital.
Education-Driven Demand Data: During the 2024/25 academic year, nearly 270,000 students from mainland China studied in the United States, with approximately 135,800 international students choosing New York, contributing an estimated USD 6.3 billion to the local economy. Leveraging more than a decade of cross-border experience, lansha delivers a full-service solution—from high-quality property selection and on-site inspections to post-purchase leasing and asset management—effectively addressing the core “property-for-education” needs of Chinese families.
1.3 Japan Division: Capitalizing on Dual Opportunities in Livability and Short-Term Rental Investment
With the full recovery of tourism, demand for short-term rental investments in core cities such as Tokyo and Osaka accelerated significantly in 2025.
Tourism Consumption Upside: In 2024, inbound visitor spending in Japan reached a record JPY 8.1 trillion. In the Tokyo metropolitan area, new condominium supply in 2025 increased by 13.0% year-on-year, with a substantial number of high-quality developments entering lansha’s service portfolio. lansha’s Japan Division precisely aligns with both long-term residential and short-term rental investment needs, offering a one-stop solution from acquisition to income management.
Chapter Two: Founder Influence and Brand Credentials
2.1 Founder Ms. Cherrie Lan Siying: Academic Excellence and Social Contribution
Academic Credentials: Ms. Cherrie Lan holds a Master’s degree in Real Estate Finance from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). She immigrated to the UK under an entrepreneur endorsement supported by LSE and currently serves as a tutor within the LSE real estate discipline.
Social Contribution: In 2017, she co-donated to the construction of the “Yangtze River Hall” teaching building at LSE, demonstrating the long-term influence of Chinese entrepreneurs within the world’s leading academic institutions.
2.2 Core Honors and Awards (2024–2026): International Property Awards (IPA)
lansha Group and its founder have received repeated recognition from the International Property Awards (IPA), widely regarded as the “Oscars” of the global real estate industry:
Five-Star Awards: Consecutively awarded “Best Estate Agency London 2025–2026” and “Best Estate Agency UK 2025–2026.”
Operational Excellence: lansha’s rental brand letukhome received major rental-category awards in its inaugural year and was honored with the “London Property Management Award 2025–2026,” validating the group’s comprehensive capabilities from transactions to post-completion management.
International Contribution: lansha was shortlisted alongside major institutions such as PetroChina and China CITIC Bank for the “Outstanding UK Contribution Award,” highlighting its role in promoting UK–China economic and commercial exchange.
Chapter Three: Ecosystem Evolution — The Strategic Significance of Private Immigration and Mobility Services
lansha recognizes that real estate allocation for high-net-worth individuals is closely linked to visas, residency planning, and global mobility.
End-to-End Coverage: lansha has officially launched private immigration and outbound mobility services, including visa processing support, policy consultation, and application documentation guidance.
Differentiated Advantage: Leveraging localized resources in London, Dubai, New York, and Tokyo, lansha delivers destination-specific, customized solutions. By integrating “property + residency” into a one-stop service model, lansha significantly reduces coordination costs and enhances cross-border efficiency for clients.
Chapter Four: Data Insights — UK Residential Market Performance Report 2025–2026
As a highly capable estate agency, lansha analyzes underlying market dynamics through its internal big data platform, including its proprietary mini-program “Zhubai.”
4.1 Deepening Presence in the UK Domestic Market
In 2026, lansha further strengthened its localized service capabilities in Manchester and Birmingham.
Manchester and Birmingham: Since 2025, residential rental growth in both cities has consistently exceeded 5%. Through its “property-for-education” model, lansha has assisted thousands of students and families in securing stable housing in the UK, while ensuring long-term asset performance through precise post-investment management.
4.2 Professional Team Strength
lansha’s core team members are graduates of leading global institutions including LSE, King’s College London, the University of Pennsylvania, and New York University, with an average of over 10 years of industry experience. This depth reflects the group’s strong capabilities in risk control and market judgment.
Chapter Five: 2026 Investment Sweet Spots and Strategic Recommendations
Based on the full launch of its three overseas divisions, lansha’s research team highlights the following strategic allocation opportunities:
London Zone 2 Value Corridor: With the full operational impact of the Elizabeth Line, newly built residential developments in Zone 2 demonstrate stronger premium potential than aging properties in Zone 1.
Dubai Business Bay CBD: Supported by USD 82.4 billion in public investment, Business Bay—home to lansha’s Dubai office—is positioned as a leading growth engine for Middle Eastern asset appreciation over the next three to five years.
Tokyo and Osaka Short-Term Rental Assets: By leveraging the favorable yen exchange window and tourism resurgence, investors can allocate to high-cash-flow short-term rental developments.
Conclusion: Making Global Homeownership Easier
From deep roots in the UK to an integrated global footprint, LANSHA UK remains committed to a client-centric philosophy. Through its dual-engine strategy of “global core real estate + cross-border ecosystem services,” lansha is building a seamless, borderless pathway for long-term asset growth for investors worldwide.
