May Xuefu Be the Beginning of Your Family’s Story in the UK

Hi there — we’re Xuefu Living, a London-based team specialising in school district properties.

We’d like to take a moment to properly introduce ourselves.

Over the past five years, we’ve helped hundreds of families settle down in the UK. Along the way, we’ve seen many parents fall into the same traps when it comes to buying a home near good schools:

• purchasing remotely and ending up in the wrong neighbourhood,

• buying properties that are uncomfortable to live in and hard to rent out,

• or watching exchange rate fluctuations eat into returns — and regretting it afterwards.

So today, we want to share who we are, what we do, and why we’ve chosen to focus on just one thing — UK school district homes.

1. Why We Focus on School District Properties

During the pandemic, our founder worked remotely with a mother in China.Her daughter, an outstanding student, had just received an offer from the London School of Economics. But it was a strange and uncertain time — travel restrictions, lockdowns, and the general anxiety of being far from home.

When she reached out to us, her only wish was simple: to find her daughter a home that felt safe and comforting. Somewhere close to campus, well-equipped, and cosy — a true “home away from home.”

That moment made us realise something profound: Parents’ love knows no distance.

Many parents thousands of miles away from the UK might not know this country well, yet they try their best to plan every detail for their children’s lives.Every basic question, every double-checked message, every late-night voice call — they reminded us that this wasn’t just a transaction. It was a family’s trust, their hopes, and their love.

2. What We Do — Three Things That Matter?

1. Visiting every major university and top school in person.

We explore each campus and its surroundings ourselves, recording videos, photos, and impressions, so parents can get a real sense of what life there feels like.

2. Curating the right homes for students and families.Beyond the new-build developments most agents sell, we focus on newer resale homes and nearly-new properties that truly meet family needs — in terms of location, safety, and budget.

3. Providing full-circle service.

From choosing and buying to handover, letting, and resale, we handle every step with care.

Our goal isn’t to make a one-off sale, but to ensure your child transitions smoothly into life in the UK — and that you, as parents, can feel at ease from afar.

3. Three Truths About Buying a UK School District Property

Truth #1: The earlier you plan, the more choices you’ll have.Many parents only start looking once their child is about to study in the UK — often in a rush to find somewhere to stay. But by then, the best options are gone.Our advice: if overseas study is part of your plan, consider buying early. You can lock in a good location and price, and even rent it out before your child arrives.

Truth 2: Rental yields are often better than you think.Unlike in many countries, the UK rental market is well-regulated, and homes near top schools enjoy steady demand.If your child studies nearby, the savings on accommodation and transport alone can be substantial.

Truth 3: A “good home” isn’t always a brand-new one.Many clients come to us wanting new

builds, but properties that meet both commuting and budget needs are often limited. In reality, three-to-five-year-old homes are often the sweet spot — modern, practical, and in great locations.Traditional agents tend to overlook them because the margins are smaller, but at Xuefu, we believe the right home is one that best fits your child’s life — not just one that’s shiny and new.

Buying a home abroad is a major family decision —especially when it plays a key role in helping your child thrive in their studies.

As parents ourselves, we want to use our local knowledge and industry experienceto help more families make confident, informed choices.

Our dream is simple: to be a small but meaningful part of your child’s journey.Because a school district home shouldn’t be a cold investment decision —it should be a foundation for growth, safety, and new beginnings.

Over the past five years, what we’re most proud of isn’t the number of transactions —it’s the moments we see our clients’ children studying happily at home,or families celebrating holidays together in their new London homes.

At Xuefu, we focus on school district properties —but what we truly care about goes far beyond real estate.
