Home Sell your property

Deciding to sell London property while living overseas can feel like a logistical challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. For Hong Kong residents owning UK assets, the distance and time difference often complicate the process. Since 1995, Benham and Reeves have bridged this gap. With over 30 years of local presence in Hong Kong, we offer a seamless, fully remote selling process. You get a local point of contact in Central for a premium London transaction.

Why sell through the Benham and Reeves Hong Kong office?

Choosing the right London estate agents in Hong Kong is the difference between a stressful transaction and a smooth exit. Unlike domestic agents trying to adapt to international needs, we have over 65 years of expertise specifically tailored to overseas clients.

  • Time zone sync: Forget waiting until 4:00 PM HKT to start your day. Our Central-based team is available during your office hours to provide instant updates.
  • A Fully remote process: From your first valuation to the final sale, we manage every detail. You can complete the entire transaction securely from start to finish without ever leaving Hong Kong.
  • Multilingual support: Our team is fully fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. We ensure clear communication and total peace of mind, so nothing gets "lost in translation" when it comes to complex UK property laws.
  • Direct London link: We are far more than a representative desk. You get direct access to our 21 London offices, putting your home in front of active local buyers and our private global investor list.
  • Easy tenancy transitions: If your home is currently rented, we handle the entire shift from "let" to "sold." We organise all viewings with your tenants and manage the legal notices to end leases, giving you a smooth sale without the usual landlord stress.
  • Simple Tax & Legal Help: We guide you through UK selling costs and offer friendly advice on Capital Gains Tax (CGT) filings. We turn a tricky, mandatory task for overseas sellers into a straightforward, fully managed process you can trust.
