Meet our UK Directors in Hong Kong
As the Renter’s Reform Act is set to take effect in the UK this year, it is crucial to understand the major regulation changes affecting both landlords and tenants. More importantly, having experts break down these changes will help you understand the implications and take the right steps to be prepared.
This March, our UK directors, Anita Mehra & Marc von Grundherr, will be in town to connect with our HK-based clients, landlords & new buyers, sharing decades of market expertise. During their visit, they will be sharing exclusive insights, market updates for 2026, and a seminar on the implications of the Renter’s Reform Act.
We will also be showcasing some of London’s most anticipated new developments, giving you access to preferred units and exclusive deals, along with other incentives by buying through us. Our clients will also be able to enjoy a comprehensive suite of lettings & property management service with on-the-ground support from our 21 London branches.
If you already own a London property and are looking to turn it into a profitable investment, you can also book an exclusive 1:1 with our directors for an accurate valuation. Through our data-driven insights, we have the latest on the current rental rates for every neighbourhood in the city.
