International Buyer Access
Why work with us
International Buyer Access
For international buyers, the London new-build market offers a rare combination: English law protections, NHBC warranty cover, globally recognised title registration, and a structural supply-demand deficit that underpins medium-term value. What it does not offer, by default, is transparency. We bridge the gap.

What you get
Built around your outcome
Currency-aware structuring
Exchange timing, deposit phasing, and FX hedging strategies built into the buying plan. We introduce UK-regulated FX partners where helpful.
Regeneration zone thesis
The strongest rental yields and capital growth in the medium term come from well-connected London regeneration areas, not Zone 1 prime. We show you why the data supports this, and which schemes fit.
SDLT and non-resident surcharges
Clear guidance on the additional 2% non-resident surcharge, 3% additional-property surcharge, and timing strategies that can reduce exposure. We introduce qualified UK tax advisors.
Dubai office connection
Renowned Homes is actively building its Dubai presence. We host investor introductions, private events, and development showcases in the region for serious UK-bound capital.
Post-completion management
A single point of contact after completion: lettings introductions, service-charge oversight, annual compliance checks. You own the asset; we keep the operational load off your desk.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Can I buy without visiting the UK?
Yes. Video viewings, digital reservations, electronic exchange, and remote completion are all standard for our international client base.
What tax do I pay as a non-resident?
As a non-resident individual purchasing a residential property, you typically pay standard SDLT plus a 2% non-resident surcharge, plus 3% additional-property surcharge where applicable. We introduce qualified UK tax advisors before you reserve.
Can I get a UK mortgage as a non-resident?
Several UK lenders offer products for non-residents with minimum deposits of 25 to 40%. We introduce brokers who specialise in international and expat lending.
Do you host events in Dubai or the Gulf?
Yes. Our Dubai presence is active and growing. Private investor meetings and development showcases run quarterly. Contact us for the next scheduled event.
What happens after I complete?
Your named advisor remains your primary contact. Lettings, compliance, annual reviews, and portfolio additions are coordinated through us. One relationship, not six.
