Case Study

Overseas portfolio landlord

Residential Development Lettings

We were approached by a client who was in the process of purchasing nine apartments in Waterloo. We were asked to provide rental values and comparable evidence of other apartments in the vicinity to support our rental assumptions. 

Having exchanged contracts Savills provided building consultancy to oversee the construction work, helped the client arrange the relevant insurance, and helped with interior design of the apartments.  As part of our proposal the lettings team devised a lettings and property management strategy.

We needed a motivated and driven agent to rent and manage our 30 apartments across two buildings in central London. Being overseas we needed to feel confident and comfortable that the agent we chose would give us the best market advice and always act in our best interest. Having interviewed several agents we decided on Savills due to their experience, local presence and global reach. We have been working with the Savills lettings and property management team since 2015 and have not been disappointed. We feel they always act professionally and in our best interest

The lettings team executed the agreed strategy which resulted in all apartments being rented in a timely manner with minimal void periods. A couple of years later we were again approached by the client to tender for an additional 18 apartments in a building in Soho. Savills now lets and manages the clients’ properties in the portfolio.
