Own a British house. Let Myshon run it.
SIRE Group Transitional Housing — a real UK freehold home, in your own name, from £127,400. Refurbished, furnished and managed for 25 years by Myshon, operator of more than 11,000 homes, with income linked to long-term statutory housing demand rather than the open rental market.

What are you trying to achieve?
Most of our international clients are solving one of these six problems. The same asset answers several of them at once.
Predictable monthly income
Rent is paid monthly to your account, with written statements quarterly. The target is 12–13% net in Year 1 — a target, not a guarantee.
Diversifying out of Hong Kong
Sterling assets under English law, uncorrelated with Hong Kong residential — and outside the policy cycle of a single domestic market.
Real, tangible ownership
Freehold title in your own name at HM Land Registry. Not a fund unit, not a bond, not a fractional share — a house you could visit tomorrow.
Inflation protection
Rent is indexed at CPI + 1% under the agreement, so income is designed to move with UK inflation rather than being frozen for 25 years.
No landlord admin, 6,000 miles away
Tenant sourcing, repairs, compliance, safety certificates and local-authority liaison are handled by a 150-person operating team. You are not fielding phone calls at 3am.
A base for family in the UK
Many clients are also thinking about children studying in Britain, or a longer-term move. Owning UK property is a first step — the asset returns to normal residential use at the end of the term.
Property of the month.
One home selected each month by the desk — usually because of the layout, the location, or because it is the last of its type at that price. Reserved on a first-come basis.
Before the property, understand the market.
If you are buying from Hong Kong, the UK can look unfamiliar. Six things worth knowing before you look at a single house.
Ownership is absolute, and it is protected
England and Wales operate a state-guaranteed land register. A freehold title in your name is yours outright, with no lease expiry, no land premium and no foreign-ownership restriction on residential purchase.
Read the guide →The shortage is structural, not cyclical
Britain has built fewer homes than it needs for decades while household numbers keep rising. That gap is why local authorities have a statutory duty to house people — and why they lease from private owners.
Read the guide →Yield lives in the North, not London
London prices income out of the equation. In County Durham and the North East, an ordinary family house costs a fraction of a Hong Kong car park space and still commands full rent.
Read the guide →The tax is knowable in advance
Stamp duty, the non-resident surcharge, the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, income tax and capital gains — all of it is published, calculable before you commit, and mostly handled by your solicitor and accountant.
Read the guide →Currency is a decision, not an accident
The Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, so a sterling asset is real diversification — and a currency decision in its own right. Worth planning deliberately, not discovering later.
Read the guide →What could go wrong, in plain English
Occupancy, funding rules, operator performance, resale timing and currency. We publish the risks in the same detail as the returns, because the returns are targets and not promises.
Read the guide →The terms, in plain language.
Indicative parameters for a standard purchase. Full cashflow, lease documents and the legal pack follow an introductory call.
Capital at risk. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. This is not guaranteed rent. Figures exclude stamp duty, legal fees and purchase costs — see the tax guide for a worked overseas-buyer example.
Transitional housing you can buy this month.
Three from the current ten-home selection. Real properties, real photography, real refurbishment — availability is live, so confirm current status before you commit to anything.
Five steps, done remotely.
You do not need to fly to England. Every stage below is completed by email, video call and courier, with Adam Hannam coordinating from Hong Kong — though you are very welcome to visit.
Introductory call
A 30-minute call with Adam Hannam at a Hong Kong-friendly hour. What you are trying to achieve, and whether transitional housing fits.
Pack & property
Fact sheets, the 25-year illustration, the lease summary and the risk note. You choose a house from live stock.
Reserve
A reservation takes the house off the list while your solicitor reviews the legal pack. Nothing is committed yet.
Legals & completion
Your UK solicitor handles ID, source-of-funds, searches and the transfer. Signing is done remotely and witnessed locally.
Income begins
The operator takes over management. Rent is paid monthly to your nominated account, with quarterly written statements.
Typical timeline from reservation to completion is 8–12 weeks, subject to your solicitor, your bank and standard UK conveyancing.
Eight things you don't have to do yourself.
Buying property in a country you do not live in is mostly a coordination problem. That is the part the Hong Kong desk takes on.
Sourcing & due diligence
Property selection, refurbishment specification and operator suitability, before anything reaches you.
Legal pack coordination
We work alongside your solicitor — or introduce one experienced with non-resident buyers.
Payments & currency
Introductions to regulated FX providers, plus guidance on staging transfers around exchange and completion.
Tax & structuring introductions
Accountants who deal with Hong Kong residents owning UK property. Advice comes from them, not us.
Refurbishment to standard
Every home is brought to the Decent Homes Standard and furnished before a tenant is placed.
Ongoing management
Occupancy, repairs, safety compliance and local-authority liaison for the full 25-year term.
Reporting
Monthly rent, quarterly written statements from a ring-fenced client account, and an annual pack for your accountant.
Resale support
When you want out, the house sells as an ordinary residential home — with or without the management agreement in place.
The operator is the investment.
A house is only worth what someone can do with it. The reason this works is the operating platform standing behind every property, for the whole term.
The properties are sourced and delivered by SIRE Group and managed by Myshon, a specialist operator in the UK transitional housing sector. Myshon employs its own staff rather than subcontracting: housing officers, maintenance teams, compliance staff and a 24/7 helpdesk.
That matters more from 6,000 miles away than it does from the next town. You are not relying on a letting agent who may change hands twice in 25 years — you are relying on an institution with regional offices, filed accounts and an operating record you can inspect.
Across Hong Kong, SIRE Group and Myshon are represented by Adam Hannam — the person who introduces the opportunity, coordinates the purchase and stays involved for the life of the investment.
Start with a conversation, not a contract.
A 30-minute call with Adam Hannam at a time that works in your timezone. No live pricing, legal pack or cashflow is released before we have spoken — and nothing is committed until your own solicitor is happy.
