We take the complexity out of international investing providing full management services for overseas landlords investing in the UK.
Property Management for Overseas Landlords
Support and peace of mind for overseas landlords. Wherever you are.
Owning a property in the UK while living abroad shouldn't feel like a liability. Whether you’ve relocated for work, invested from overseas or moved away permanently, managing tenants, maintenance and compliance from another country brings real challenges.
That’s where we step in.
At Northmode, we take the pressure off. Our dedicated Overseas Landlord service is designed to protect your rental income, maintain compliance and keep tenants happy, all without you needing to be on the ground.
From routine repairs to full legal oversight, we act as your eyes and ears, providing a fully managed, hands-off experience.
We stay on top of deadlines, respond fast to tenant issues and oversee all certifications so your asset stays protected so you can enjoy the rewards of your investment without the distance getting in the way.
Challenges of Being a UK Landlord Living Abroad
✦ Distance and time zones – managing tenant queries, emergencies, or routine checks is far harder when you’re not in the country.
✦ UK regulations – keeping up with tenancy laws, safety standards, and the Non-Resident Landlord tax scheme can feel overwhelming from abroad.
✦ Property maintenance – organising repairs, inspections and upkeep at a distance often leads to delays and added costs.
✦ Peace of mind – without a trusted local presence, it’s easy to worry about how your property and tenants are being looked after.
Left unmanaged, these issues can quickly turn a valuable investment into a stressful responsibility

I have been very impressed with Northmode since I transferred the management of my property from Purplebricks. After years of poor service and no inspections of completed contractor works I have finally found a professional management company that looks after landlords...
