New Central London Tenancies from Asia Pacific Tripled in 2021 According to London Central Portfolio (LCP)

Latest Central London Rental Trends from UK capital’s leading agent for smart sourcing, acquiring, refurbishing & meticulously managing prime London residences

LONDON, UK & HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 February 2022 – Central London’s leading one-stop-shop buying agency London Central Portfolio (LCP) reveals in its latest research paper that new Central London tenancies from Asia Pacific tripled in 2021, when compared to 2020 investments.

New Central London tenancies under LCP management from Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asian tenants – worth more than one billion GBP – were up from 5% in 2020 to 15% in 2021. Hong Kong and Singapore investors comprise over 40% of LCP’s active clients.

“The return of tenants from the Asia-Pacific region is an indication of how popular London remains as a global destination of choice for those wishing to further their education within the prestigious UK education system alongside those taking up employment opportunities,” said Andrew Weir, Chief Executive of LCP.

“The second half of 2021 felt as though we received two years’ worth of tenants all arriving back into London at the same time. Perhaps the simultaneous and sudden return of tenants from the Asia Pacific region, both previous and new alike, was inevitable after the disruption to traditional seasonality created by the pandemic and various UK ‘Lockdowns’.

Agreed rents on new tenancies also improved throughout 2021 due to increased demand and competition as tenants returned to prime London. Q4 2021 witnessed an average 11.07% increase on preceding lease levels, correcting the deep discounts that were granted during the same period in 2020.

LCP is renowned among London’s premier real estate agencies for its track record of smart sourcing and acquiring, refurbishing and meticulously managing prime residences for international investors. By specialising exclusively in Prime Central London comprising the two boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster, the agency has become the leading expert in what is almost certainly the most sought-after international real estate market in the world.

New Japanese inspired anti-aging treatment “Cellester” to launch in Asia: Impressive clinical results without the clinic

TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach – 28 February 2022 – New Japanese inspired beauty treatment “Cellester” (http://www.cellester.jp) is launching in Asia, bringing anti-aging treatments that were once only available in luxury beauty spas in Tokyo to the rest of the world.

Cellester LEGEND

Cellester LEGEND

Signs of aging start to appear as early as mid-twenties. While traditional skincare such as topical serums may work to a certain extent, it is far from being a perfect solution to skin aging. Topical skincare cannot reach the deep dermis layer, where most of the glycation and aging took place. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to sugars, glycation also caused saggy-looking skin and loss of skin elasticity. To reverse the impact of glycation, some Japanese products launched in recent years in the form of anti-glycation pills and drinks, which produce certain effects. To most effectively boost collagen production, controlled thermal energy is recommended to reverse the skin aging process. “Cellester” is a safe and effective treatment to induce heat energy required for collagen and elastic to regenerate, making skin more supple and creating a younger looking face.

Cellester is totally non-invasive and can be used to contour the face and body, while boosting collagen to grow without painful injection and invasive cosmetic procedures. The 3 in 1 platform in the program “Cellester LEGEND”, was specially designed to bring the 3 most important elements of an effective Japanese anti-glycation treatment to a single platform:

(1) Controlled radiofrequency to gently wake up cells and elastins, so new collagen can be produced

(2) Deep thermal waves that can stimulate the pressure points on the face, getting rid of lymphatic drainage while improving circulation

(3) Cryo energy to help calm and soothe the skin

Regular treatments can bring long-lasting effects, making the face more contoured, jawline more obvious and also wrinkles reduced. With this new understanding of how skin glycation works, customers can now proactively reverse it without surgeries and injections that would cost US$1000-2000+ each time. Cellester LEGEND machines can be used for UNLIMITED times and for UNLIMITED amount of users, which is very economical alternative to injections.

Cellester LEGEND is a powerful platform with a unique design: Unlike other professional equipments, it has no limit on usage time or number of shots. There is no need to buy replacement handpiece tips, making it a very attractive investment option for business owners.

Cellester is now available at beauty salons in Taiwan and Hong Kong. There is more that can help you to reverse aging than glycation pills and drinks. Experience the latest technology “Cellester” at a salon near you.

Botslab by 360 releases self-empty robot vacuum cleaner S8 Plus

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA Media OutReach 28 February 2022 Botslab, a high-tech smart home brand under 360, has launched a new industry-leading self-empty robot vacuum cleaner — S8 Plus, which is now on sale at ebargain at AUD799. Adhering to the brand concept of “Innovative technology and products for a real smart life”, S8 Plus embodies the essence of hands free with technology, meets consumers’ needs for precise positioning, worry-free self-cleaning, deep cleaning, etc., bringing more comfort and convenience for home life.

In recent years, consumers’ pursuit of quality of life has continued to improve, and they have increasingly been focusing more and more on home life experiences brought by home appliances. Following this consumption trend, Botslab has gained an in-depth insight into smart home products, and by applying AI, big data , and cutting-edge IoT technologies, Botslab has launched a series of products, such as wet dry vacuum and smart camera, leading the smart life trend. The robot vacuum cleaner S8 Plus launched by Botslab this time integrates cutting-edge functions such as LiDAR navigation, 2700 pa superior suction, 70-day no-emptying dust bag, and 5000 mAh long-life battery, bringing consumers the ease and enjoyment of smart life.

The LDS LiDAR used in S8 Plus can locate and scan the home environment with millimeter-scale accuracy and a speed of 2080 points/s, so as to accurately create a floor plan and avoid obstacles.

S8 Plus has four suction modes: 600pa, 1000pa, 1500pa and 2700pa. Consumers can choose the appropriate mode according to their different cleaning needs. The brand new brushless motor can easily vacuum fine dust and hairs. Also, the smart speed-control side brush will accelerate when moving along the wall to keep corners clean and decelerate when zigzag cleaning to avoid spilling waste. When the machine hits the carpet, it automatically recognizes and stops the mopping function, while at the same time automatically increasing to 1500pa to deep clean the carpet.

The 5000mAh high-capacity battery of the S8 Plus equips the vacuum with excellent battery life. When the proper cleaning mode is used, the machine can continuously clean for up to 250 minutes. When the power is lower than 20%, the machine will automatically return to the charging station for charging; after the power is fully charged, the machine then automatically returns to the uncleaned position to continue the work, saving consumers from tedious manual charging and ineffective repeated cleaning.

Automatic dust collection is one of the most surprising features of the S8 Plus. With the 4L large dust bag, the robot can automatically start dust collection after cleaning and auto charging, and the dust collection can be completed in 20s. The large-capacity dust bag saves the user from frequently emptying it. After testing, a 4L dust bag can hold the dust produced by an ordinary family in about 70 days, which means that the user only needs to empty the dust bag 5 times a year. This brings convenience and peace of mind for busy office workers who have limited time for housework activities.

As a smart home product, the APP interconnection function is of course essential. By using the app, users can set up a series of personalized settings for the areas to be cleaned, cleaning mode, cleaning time, etc. For example, the vacuum can be set up to clean the living room in the morning and the bedroom at night; it can also be set up to vacuum on weekdays and mop on weekends; if there is a children’s toy area at home, a no-go zone or no-mop zone can be set up, so that the machine will avoid areas that need to be left alone. In this way, the different cleaning needs of consumers are met. Also, with the Botslab app, users can remotely control the robot when staying out.

S8 Plus also has many other practical functions and designs such as voice control, smart water output, etc. For more information, please visit the official website: https://www.botslab.com
