Moving to the UK from Hong Kong and looking for properties?

We know buying a house can be stressful, so you may be worried at the thought of buying a home while abroad. With Stacks, you’ll have your own trusted advisor, an expert on the ground. You’ll have peace of mind.

Living and working abroad is a time of excitement and opportunities. When the time comes for you to take advantage of openings in the UK, you want to make the most of these opportunities.

When you look at moving to the UK, it can be difficult to know where to look. 

  • Stacks can help you identify the areas that suit your requirements, for work, family life and schooling, right through to retirement.
  • Our experts keep abreast of the property market that is changing so quickly, meaning you don’t need to rely on the internet or family and friends for help.
  • Online listings aren’t always to be trusted – and if the property really is as good as it looks, it won’t stay available long. How can you move quickly enough? Stacks can be working hard on completing a sale while you’re abroad.

When you’re moving or returning to the UK from Hong Kong: what do you need to consider?

  • Understanding your budget is essential. Make sure you account for all the fees house-buying will raise, such as stamp duty, legal fees and removal costs.
  • You’ll no doubt have considered the tax implications of your return. It’s wise to seek advice about investments and tax planning early on to ensure you make the best decisions.
  • For many, moving to the UK is prompted by plans for educating your children. If choosing a school is part of your relocation, there are many things to consider which you may not be aware of, it often feels as if the school system in the UK keeps changing. Seeking help to understand what your options are is essential.
  • If there are members of your family without British citizenship it’s important to explore your options as early as possible, making sure you get the necessary paperwork in place.

Your Stacks representative will be your guide through the process of seeking your new home in the UK. Whatever your question, we’ll find you the support you need.
