Meet the Team

Ugo Arinzeh – Property Consultant

I have a real passion for helping people find their perfect home or investment property in London. As someone who moved to the UK in 2011 I know the ins and outs of making a big move to a new location and the importance of finding the perfect area. 

I built my passion for property while working in the states as a real estate investment banker and personal investor. Once I moved to London I fell in love with not just the architecture of this global city, but the incredible neighbourhoods that offer a diversity of feel and amenities. From country-like serenity, to ultra urban, you really can find a place that works for you, your family, and your personality.  Onyx was for me the manifestation of my entire background to do work I enjoy while helping people in a very personal way.

I love doing what I do because I am helping people during really important times of their lives. I am grateful for the trust they put in me and strive to deliver outstanding results.
