How I Helped My Client Akik Invest in the UK Remotely from Qatar
Jordan Smethurst • 2025-03-25
Akik had already invested in London property before, but he quickly realised something… The rental yields just weren’t what they used to be. London’s average buy-to-let yields have dropped to 3-4%, making it harder to generate strong cash flow.

So, he started looking elsewhere.
He knew Liverpool had some of the highest rental yields in the UK (8-10%), but he had one big problem…
He didn’t know where to invest or what strategy would work best.
He wanted a hands-off investment in a high-growth location.
He needed a trusted team to source, manage, and oversee the process.
He didn’t want to spend months searching for the right opportunity.
That’s where I stepped in.
I specialise in helping overseas investors like Akik secure high-yielding UK property deals remotely, without the stress of trying to do it alone.
Here’s how we made it happen:
Step 1 – Finding the Right Investment in Liverpool Since Liverpool has multiple investment hotspots, choosing the right area was key.
I used my local market knowledge and agent connections to pinpoint a high-demand rental location where:
Yields were 8-10%, over double London’s Properties were below market value with room for capital growth Tenant demand was strong from professionals & students
Step 2 – Securing an Off-Market Deal Through my agent relationships, I sourced a two-bed buy-to-let in a prime Liverpool rental area before it hit the market.
I negotiated a discount on the purchase price, ensuring Akik bought below market value and maximised his returns from day one.
The Figures:
Purchase Price: £88,000
Market Value: £115,000
Step 3 – Structuring the Right Team Buying remotely meant getting the right professionals in place to ensure a smooth process.
I introduced Akik to: A trusted solicitor to handle the legal side seamlessly. A reliable management company to look after the property long-term. A lettings agent who quickly found a high-quality tenant.
Step 4 – Letting & Management
Once the legal side was complete, the property was handed over to a fully vetted Liverpool letting agent.
Within two weeks, a tenant was secured, and the property was generating consistent monthly cash flow at an 8.5% yield over double what he was getting in London.
The End Result?
Akik now owns a high-yielding, fully managed Liverpool investment property, without ever stepping foot in the UK.
He didn’t have to fly over, deal with agents, or handle any of the paperwork, he simply made the decision, and we took care of the rest.
Final Thoughts
Akik’s story is proof that the best investment opportunities aren’t always where you live, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of them.
I work with investors from across the world who want to build their UK property portfolio remotely, without the hassle.
