Recently, UK property developer Berkeley Capital presented Lansha Group with the Best Agent of the Year Award and granted it the honor of Top Selling China Agent for 2025–2026.
For the real estate industry, this is not only a milestone of collaboration, but also reflects the developer's recognition of the agency's professional service, project understanding, and customer care capabilities.
Beyond the award itself, what is more worthy of attention is: How does an overseas property agency earn long-term recognition from major developers? And how do these capabilities impact the buying experience for clients?
Berkeley Has a Rich Portfolio; the Real Challenge Lies in Helping Clients Make the Right Choice
As a well-known UK residential developer, Berkeley Group has long focused on developing large-scale residential communities in London and South East England. Its projects typically encompass comprehensive masterplans incorporating residential, commercial, public spaces, green parks, and lifestyle amenities.
For homebuyers, a single project often involves multiple buildings, varying orientations, diverse floor plans, and different completion dates. Relying solely on promotional materials makes it difficult to quickly identify which home best suits their needs.
For instance:
Which building will offer a better living experience in the future?
Which floor plan is better suited for letting?
How will orientation and floor height affect long-term value?
Do the different completion timelines align with the family's schedule?
There are no standard answers to these questions. They require a comprehensive analysis combining the client's budget, purpose, commute, educational plans, and long-term arrangements.
Throughout the service process, Lansha acts as an information bridge between the developer and the client, structuring complex project details and helping clients understand the nuances between different units, rather than simply pitching a project.
Behind Every Trophy Lies a Vast Amount of Unseen Work
What clients see might be a property viewing, a tailored proposal, or an online consultation.
Behind these services, however, the team continuously monitors project dynamics, including:
Latest available units
Layout updates
Construction progress
Handover schedules
Developer policy updates
Changes in associated costs
At the same time, the team maintains close communication with developers, solicitors, mortgage advisors, and other parties to ensure information is updated promptly and passed on to clients.
During cross-border home purchases, client requirements often evolve.
For example, due to changes in children's education, job relocations, or financial plans, a previously finalized purchase strategy may need to be re-evaluated.
Lansha's focus is not to rush clients into closing a deal, but to assist them at every stage in organizing their needs, evaluating options, and making well-considered decisions.
Receiving the Berkeley Best Agent Award is a testament to the fruitfulness of this long-term collaboration.
From Consultation to Handover, Lansha Provides End-to-End Service Support
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in London, Lansha Group has established offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, as well as Manchester and Birmingham in the UK, while gradually expanding into the US, Japan, and Middle East markets.
Focusing on UK real estate, Lansha currently offers full-lifecycle property services, including:
UK residential project advisory
Property sourcing and market analysis
Viewing and transaction process assistance
Property handover support
Post-completion lettings and asset management
Different clients have distinct priorities.
Families planning for overseas education care more about school commutes and neighborhood convenience; end-user buyers place greater weight on community environments and living quality; while investors focus closely on rental demand, operational costs, and long-term yields.
Therefore, before recommending any project, the team takes time to understand the client's purchase objective, budget, family structure, and future plans to conduct targeted analysis.
During transactions, Lansha coordinates project documents, manages communication workflows, and liaises with developers, while legal, mortgage, and tax matters are referred to qualified, licensed professionals for advice.
After property completion, Lansha's lettings management brand, letukhome, provides ongoing services including tenant sourcing, rental management, and property operations.
A Long-Term Service Philosophy as a Unified Team Standard
Cherrie Lan, Founder of Lansha Group, holds a Master's degree in Real Estate Economics and Finance from the London School of Economics (LSE) and established Lansha Group in 2014.
Years of experience in cross-border property services led her to realize that the biggest challenge in purchasing overseas real estate is often not the buying process itself, but the information asymmetry.
A solicitor's email, an English contract, or a payment milestone can all create high communication barriers for international buyers.
As a result, Lansha has built a comprehensive service system spanning consultation, transaction, handover, and lettings management, striving to reduce cross-border communication costs through transparent information delivery.
Today, while clients interact with a dedicated consultant, behind the scenes, dedicated teams handling market research, transaction support, handover coordination, and property management collaborate closely to complete the entire process.
The team has consistently held true to a shared philosophy:
Double-check one more time, explain one more sentence, and think one step further from the client's perspective.
Sustained Industry Recognition Built on Years of Dedication
In recent years, Lansha Group has continually earned recognition within the UK real estate industry.
In addition to receiving the Best Agent of the Year Award from Berkeley Capital, the group has also won accolades such as the International Property Awards and maintained long-standing partnerships with major UK developers over many years.
To date, the Lansha team boasts a combined industry experience of over 80 years, having facilitated transactions exceeding £1.5 billion. Its business spans UK residential consulting, international asset allocation, agency sales, property lettings management, and mortgage advisory.
For Lansha, awards are not the destination, but a milestone of recognition for long-term professional service. Looking ahead, the group will continue to center its efforts on the UK property market, delivering transparent, professional, and systematic one-stop global real estate services to clients worldwide.
