Your Chennai property, managed while you're in the UK or Europe.
Chennai is three and a half to five and a half hours ahead. Your morning is our afternoon, which makes for easy calls.
Flourrish manages Chennai property for NRIs in the UK, Ireland and Europe. We find and verify tenants, collect rent, handle repairs with your approval and send monthly video reports. Your morning overlaps with Chennai's afternoon, so calls are easy to arrange, and we keep clear yearly records for your accountant.
What time is it in Chennai?
Your morning overlaps with Chennai's afternoon. A 9 AM call in London is 1:30 or 2:30 PM in Chennai, depending on the season, which is the easiest window for live updates.

Managing from UK & Europe, made simple.
Easy morning calls
Your morning is Chennai's afternoon, so live calls rarely mean staying up late.
Records for two tax years
India's financial year runs April to March; the UK's tax year starts on 6 April. We keep monthly records so your accountant can work with both.

Money and tax
Rent from your Chennai property is generally taxable in India, and the tenant is generally required to deduct TDS. If you are UK resident, the UK generally taxes worldwide income too, and the India–UK tax treaty may give relief so you aren't taxed twice. Your Indian CA and UK accountant should confirm what applies to you.
Flourrish can coordinate with qualified legal, tax and banking professionals where required. Professional advice should be obtained from the appropriate licensed advisor.
What's the best time for a call from the UK?
Your morning. 9 AM in London is early afternoon in Chennai for most of the year.
Can you give me figures for my UK tax return?
We give you a clear record of rent received, TDS deducted and expenses paid for each month. Your accountant can use it for both the Indian and UK tax years.
Do I need to be in India to rent out my flat?
No. We handle viewings, verification and the agreement. Some legal documents may need your signature or a Power of Attorney; we coordinate with lawyers when that's needed.
Do you work with owners elsewhere in Europe?
Yes. The process is the same wherever you live. Only the call times change.
