Benham and Reeves continues global growth with launch of Taiwan office

Benham and Reeves has made its latest entry into Taiwan by opening a new office in Taipei City’s iconic Taipei 101 tower. This move strengthens our commitment to support Taiwanese homebuyers, investors and landlords looking to benefit from opportunities in the London and UK property market.

Led by multilingual property experts, we bring our trademark one-stop lettings and property management services, tailored to overseas homebuyers.

A strong bridge between Taiwan and London

Rising demand from investors and homeowners in Taiwan seeking to diversify and build their international property portfolios led us to open an office in Taipei. The London property market offers overseas investors an excellent opportunity to earn consistent rental income while also meeting long-term investor goals of value growth and wealth creation. With a physical office, we are now able to offer personalised support, working closely with our 21 branches across the UK capital.

Our in-person consultations offer local, data-driven advice with tailored investment options based on the client’s profile. Backed by over 65 years of property sales and letting experience, we also support clients by offering professional introductions to legal and financing specialists.

One-stop property services

From helping you find the right London property to guided support, our one-stop services help maximise returns and get full value throughout the property’s entire lifecycle.

Investment advisory

From new-build apartments to period family houses across prime postcodes to regeneration-led neighbourhoods, London offers a diverse range of options. Based on your preferences and budget, our property experts will guide you on the best approach. Whether you are purchasing for own-use or as a profitable investment, our team is well-equipped to suggest suitable options for you.

Furniture with interior design

A new property can be a blank canvas – in need of a professional furnishing and interior design service to help it stand out in London’s competitive rental market. Our in-house interior design and furnishing team can furnish and style your home in 48 hours or less, making the entire process seamless and ready to market as soon as possible.

All-inclusive lettings

Our lettings staff carries out extensive referencing checks to make sure your property is let exclusively to suitable renters. This reduces the risk of rent arrears and other unlawful activities that can affect returns. With the Renters’ Rights Act coming into effect from May 2026, we also ensure full compliance with the updated regulations.

Full property management

If you own and let property in London, you also have to comply with the local councils and regulations. We are well-equipped to look after your property, even if it is vacant or between leases, so it is ready to let quickly. We also undertake routine EPC and safety checks, repairs and all other maintenance needs.

Marketing and promotion

Visibility and reach is vital to let property quickly and at the right value. We help present your property in the best possible light through professional photography, and strategic marketing across major UK portals to better attract tenants and maximise returns.

Filing tax returns

Rental income in the UK is taxed and overseas landlords have to fill in their tax return under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRLS). As your lettings and management partner, we also ensure tax compliance with our in-house accounting and tax expertise.

Serving an expanding client base

There has been a recent increase in Taiwanese investment in London property, driven by a number of factors that appeal to investors:

i. Further Education: Many parents prefer to buy rather than rent for their child’s education for safety, convenience and comfort over shared student accommodation and rentals. Buying a property in London is also an investment that builds long-term wealth and can help cover education fees.

ii. Portfolio diversification: It is another way of diversifying their portfolio and hedging against the uncertainties of investing in only one market.

iii. Rental demand and stability: Strong fundamentals, including clearly defined laws, enduring demand along with a stable political environment has led to sustained price and rental increases.

In response to the increasing demand from Taiwanese investors, we are proud to announce that our local Taipei office is now in operation. Here, local investors and homebuyers can explore options from our vast inventory of new developments across London.

With an established presence in East Asia, our Taiwan team benefits from the leadership and experience of our International Director, Widya Lestaluhu, bringing valuable expertise and client service experience to our new office.

Whether you are looking to buy your first London home, expand your portfolio or exploring professional lettings and management service for your existing property in the UK capital, we have you covered.
