Frequently Asked Questions
What are the tax implications for international clients investing through Crownfield?
Tax implications vary depending on your home country’s regulations. At Crownfield Properties, we collaborate with a local accountant in the UK to ensure compliance with UK tax laws, including property taxes, capital gains, and any applicable withholding taxes.
We also provide guidance on potential benefits, such as double taxation treaties, to help structure your investment tax-efficiently. However, you (the client ) are responsible for filing taxes in your home country, and we strongly recommend consulting a tax professional in your jurisdiction to address your specific obligations.
How does Crownfield ensure consistent rental income for investors?
We focus on properties in high-demand areas, such as student accommodations near top universities and income properties in thriving rental markets. Our team conducts thorough tenant screening and secures long-term leases where possible. Additionally, we provide proactive property management to minimise vacancies and ensure steady cash flow for our investors.
How does Crownfield support investors in exiting their investments?
We provide a clear exit strategy for every investment, whether through resale, refinancing, or portfolio restructuring.
Our team monitors market conditions to identify optimal times for divestment and leverages our network of buyers to facilitate smooth transactions. We also offer advice on maximising returns and minimising tax liabilities during the exit process.
Do you handle everything, or do I need to be hands-on?
Crownfield Properties provides a fully managed, end-to-end service designed to take the stress and complexity out of investing in UK property from abroad. We source the opportunity, manage any necessary renovations, handle lettings and tenant placement, and take care of day-to-day property management.
You don’t need to be hands-on. Our team keeps you informed at key decision points, but we handle the operational workload so you can focus on results, not the admin.
As with any property investment, the investor covers their own acquisition costs, including legal fees, renovation budgets and closing expenses. We support and guide you through each of these steps, introducing trusted local professionals and providing clear oversight throughout.
Our goal is to make the process as simple, secure and structured as possible, while still giving you full visibility and control over your investment.
Can international clients invest through your company?
Yes. Crownfield Properties is built to support international investors, with a strong focus on Israeli clients looking to invest in the UK property market. Our model is tailored to overseas buyers who want a structured, fully managed investment experience.
We take care of sourcing, renovation, legal coordination and ongoing management, so you don’t need to be based in the UK to build a successful portfolio. All communication is clear, consistent and designed to keep you informed without needing to be involved in the day-to-day.
Investing in UK property from abroad is not just possible with Crownfield. It’s what we do best.
What is a student property investment in the UK?
A student property investment in the UK involves purchasing purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) or residential properties specifically designed for student tenants, typically located near major universities.
These properties are in high demand due to the UK’s growing student population, including both domestic and international students.
At Crownfield Properties, we target assets in cities with top-tier universities, such as London, Manchester, and Bristol, where occupancy rates often exceed 95%. These investments offer attractive yields, typically between 5% and 7% annually, driven by consistent rental income and long academic-year tenancies.
We manage the entire process, from acquisition to tenant placement, ensuring a hassle-free experience for investors seeking stable, long-term returns.
