Our independent lettings agency, founded by Daniel Lees in 2010, manages properties in SW London

Our independent lettings agency manages properties in southwest London for owners who live abroad

02/11/2026

The job offer comes through. Sydney, Dubai, Singapore. And somewhere between booking flights and finding schools, you stop and think… what happens to the house? 🏡

Most of the landlords we work with never planned to be landlords. Life just took them somewhere new. And the weeks before you leave are the hardest time to learn letting rules from scratch.

The good news? If you’re still in London, we can meet you at your property, walk through everything together and have it all in place before you fly.

Moving abroad and keeping your home in south west London?

Meet Jacki, our Swift property negotiator.

Over the coming weeks, we’re introducing the people behind the scenes, who look after your London home. First up is Jacki.

As our Negotiator, Jacki’s focus is matching the right tenant with the right home - and she does it real warmth and intuition. LIke the rest of our team, she's also had first hand knowledge of moving and living abroad. We were delighted to receive this five-star review recently:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I cannot express my gratitude for Jacki who works at Swift. She was absolutely lovely to work with, and she was very helpful throughout [our] letting search. I cannot recommend Swift enough, and special thanks to Jacki for her continued support.”

For landlords, finding the right tenant is one of the most important parts of letting a home well, especially when you’re managing it from abroad - and even MORE so now, with changes in the Renters' Rights Act. Every tenant we put forward goes through thorough checks, including affordability, employment and previous landlord references, credit history and Right to Rent.

Due diligence here is key. Where something doesn’t add up, we dig a little deeper. Whilst this might make the process a little longer, it's to ensure we can provide real peace of mind that the people living in your property have been properly vetted.

If you let your London home before moving abroad, the rules you signed up to have changed. The Renters' Rights Act 2025 replaces fixed-term tenancies with periodic ones, abolishes Section 21 "no-fault" evictions and tightens how and when rent can rise.

For expat landlords, the risk isn't the law itself - it's knowing how its changed. A tenancy that ran on autopilot for years now needs active, compliant management. Are you sure you're ticking all the boxes?

Our landlord's guide walks through what's different and what to do now - see the link in our bio, or send us a DM to talk Daniel.

Moved abroad but kept your London home?

The PRS Database is coming and every landlord needs to register - wherever they live. We've broken down who, what and when in our recent blog (see link in comments)

Not sure where you stand? Speak to an expert, give us a call. We're happy to talk it through.

Swift. Let your property with peace of mind.

Did you know?!

Our landlords live in 16 countries across 5 continents. Different time zones, different lives, but one shared question: who can I trust with my home in London?

Here's what working with Swift looks like:

✅ We find the right tenant, which matters more than ever under the Renters' Rights Act
✅ We manage the tenancy and the property, not just the let
✅ We keep you compliant, so rule changes don't become your problem
✅ We're your eyes and ears in south west London

If you, or someone you know, has recently said “I've had an amazing job offer abroad” and plans to keep their family home here, we'd love to hear from you. The first step is a no-obligation conversation.

Get in touch and we'll take it from there.

Did you know rents can shift with the seasons? 🍂☀️

In summer, a south-westerly garden and outdoor space really help a home stand out 🌿
In the autumn and winter, tenants pay far more attention to the energy rating and how efficient the boiler is 🔥

Just this week we were showing prospective tenants around a one-bedroom flat in East Putney, almost every one asked about the EPC rating. Knowing how these details feed into pricing is how we help landlorsd achieve the best rent the market allows. If you are thinking about letting out your home this winter, get in touch for a free valuation.

The job offer comes through: Singapore - the Lion City 🦁

Your flights are booked, the boxes get packed - and then, what about your home? If you're planning on keeping your familiy home in SW London while you live abroad, congratulations - you've just become a landlord (whether you planned it or not)!

The good news, is that's where we come in. At Swift we look after homes for owners overseas - and have done for over 16 years. Our clients are spread out over five continents and trust us to keep our eyes, ears and hands on their property so they can focus on their new life abroad.

If you'd like some help working through whether you should let out your home whilst living abroad (or you already do and want someone to help take the stress out of it) give us a call.

Most of our clients never planned to become landlords. The job offer in Sydney comes through, the move is exciting - and then reality hits: what happens to the family home in Teddington?

That's how most accidental landlords begin. And this year is a particularly demanding time to be one!

Under the Renters' Rights Act:
→ Getting your home back is much harder than it used to be
→ Compliance fines can reach £40,000
→ The paperwork, standards and new duties keep growing

It's alot to handle from another time zone. At Swift Property, we look after rental homes in south west London for owners who live abroad. We not only find you the right tenant, we look after your home as if it were our own - and we keep you compliant and up-to-date on all regulatory changes.

If you are weighing up what to do with your home before a move abroad, get in touch for a free call with our property managment expert, Daniel. An accidental landlord himself, he'll give you the low down on planning your next step.

Could you afford a £40,000 fine landing on your doorstep?

If you let a property in England while living overseas, the rules changed this year. The Renters’ Rights Act came into force on 1 May 2026 and gave councils stronger enforcement powers. Since 22 June 2026, landlords who fail to fix serious hazards such as damp and mould can be fined up to £7,000. Repeated or serious breaches can reach £40,000!

The landlords most exposed aren’t the careless ones. They’re the ones 5,000 miles away, settling into their new life, assuming nothing has changed since they left.

If you are an expat landlord, here's three questions worth asking this week:
→ Are your tenancy terms up to date with the new rules?
→ Did your tenant receive the government information sheet by 31 May 2026?
→ Do you know what the new PRS database will ask of you?

If any of those gave you pause, get in touch. We can help you answer any questions you may have on compliance.

A nagging doubt about whether your UK rental property is still compliant, if the rent is right, if your tenants are happy - are all things that can keep you up at night. We'd rather you see the sunrise through choice, than because you've been awake, tossing and turning.

When we talk about regulatory change, the conversation goes straight to financial risk: fines, invalid notices, disputes. Those risks are real. But there’s a quieter cost that gets less attention: the mental bandwidth that uncertainty consumes. Landlords living abroad already have a lot claiming their attention: new jobs, new schools, new systems in a new country.

At Swift we help you let your home with peace of mind because we take care of all those niggles - so you don't have to! Your UK property should be a source of income and options rather than a constant low-grade stress.

Chat to Daniel today, for a free valuation and discover not only what your property could command in today's rental market, but also what hands-off managment would involve.
