We take the complexity out of international investing for overseas landlords investing in the UK.
Support and peace of mind. Wherever you are.
Owning a UK property while living abroad can quickly feel exposed. Distance makes it harder to stay on top of compliance, tenant issues and time-sensitive decisions, particularly when problems need clear and informed action on the ground.
Our Overseas Landlord service is designed for that reality. We provide full management for non-UK owners, covering compliance, tenant management, maintenance coordination and legal oversight through a single point of contact.
We act as your on-the-ground representative in the UK, handling day-to-day operations, contractor instruction and regulatory requirements so issues are dealt with promptly and do not drift or escalate.
We currently act for overseas landlords based across Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia, with structured reporting and clear communication in place regardless of time zone. Assets remain controlled, compliant and professionally managed, even when you are not local.
Challenges of Being a UK Landlord Living Abroad
◆
Distance and time zones
Responding to tenant queries, emergencies and routine matters is significantly harder when you’re operating from overseas.
◆
UK regulation and tax obligations
Keeping pace with tenancy law, safety compliance and the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme requires constant attention and local knowledge.
◆
Maintenance and inspections
Managing contractors, inspections and repairs remotely often leads to delays, increased costs and reduced control over standards.
◆
Peace of mind
Without a trusted local presence, it’s difficult to be confident that your property, tenants and income are being properly managed.
Left unaddressed, these challenges can quickly erode returns and turn a strong investment into a source of ongoing risk and stress.

Landlord, Stockport
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...
I have been a client of northmode for a while now and I am really pleased with the way they have helped me manage my property portfolio. I would highly recommend if you are seeking peace of mind when it comes to trusting a management company in Manchester for your properties.
I've had such a wonderful experience with Northmode Properties. The team are always friendly, professional, and genuinely care about what they do - which is clear in the quality of service they provide. It's been lovely getting to know them. I couldn't recommend highly enough!
