CHAMPS Property Investment: London real estate consultancy for international investors

CHAMPS Property Investment is a property investment and management company established in London since 2009. It presents itself as one of the most experienced and professional property managers in the sector, offering premium lettings, UK property investment and property management services to clients worldwide. The company operates from an office in London and has another in Guangzhou (China), enabling it to serve both local and international investors.

Services for buyers, landlords and investors

CHAMPS' activity covers the entire property transaction cycle. For buyers, the company offers advice on property selection, budget planning, in-person or video viewings, and support with legal and financing procedures. For owners and investors, it manages lettings and property administration, including day-to-day maintenance, refurbishment and renovation. It also advises on the sale of off-plan and second-hand homes.

The website details a buying process structured in several phases: budget planning, property selection, video or in-person viewing, reservation, legal and mortgage assistance, inspection and handover, and finally placing the property under management. The company states that it supports the client at each of these steps to simplify an otherwise complex procedure.

Relationships with developers and development portfolio

CHAMPS maintains close ties with major UK developers, including Berkeley Group, Mount Anvil, Barratt Homes, Taylor Wimpey and Fairview. According to its presentation, it markets over 200 developments in the country and claims to have sold more than 90% of the premium developments it offers.

It provides services in Mandarin, English and Cantonese, and supports clients through the viewing, mortgage, legal management, property management and resale stages.
