📋 One of the questions I get asked most as a landlord living the (very busy) London life is: “Wait… what actually changed with the new rental laws?” 🏠🇬🇧 Fifteen-plus years in this city, and I still learn something new every few months about what it actually takes to stay compliant here. 🏙️📚⚖️ So I built LondonLandlordAdvisory.com — a free little resource for landlords, especially those living abroad 🌍✈️, who just want the latest updates explained simply, clearly, and without the legal jargon. 📝✨ Whether you're a first-time landlord 🏡, managing a property from overseas 🌎, or simply trying to keep up with the ever-changing rules 🔄📑 — I hope it makes things a little easier. 🏠 Check it out, save it for later, and share your questions!💬👇 #LondonLandlord #UKPropertyInvestment #RentersRightsAct #PropertyManagement #OverseasLandlord #landlordtips #onyxpropertyteam
The Renters' Rights Act
✨ A beautiful day in Belgravia at the charming Burton Mews. There’s something about stepping into one of these quiet mews streets that makes you slow down and take it all in. 🤍 The cobbled lane, the period character, the sense of privacy — yet you’re right in the heart of one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. It’s easy to see why homes like this are so special. This beautiful freehold two-bedroom mews house is now available for under £2M, offering a rare opportunity to own a little piece of Belgravia. 🏡 If you're considering Belgravia or looking for a home in prime Central London, reach out. I’d love to help you find your perfect piece of London. 🇬🇧 Onyx Property Team.

The Charming Burton Mews
Two London apartments can be listed at the same price, on the same street, in the same building — and one of them can still be a mistake. In this video I walk through the eight checks I actually run before advising a client to offer: what the asking price really tells you, where price per square foot misleads, why micro location changes everything, what you're buying when you buy the building, the annual costs nobody budgets for, the turnkey premium, the resale question, and the truth about new builds. Whether you're relocating to London, buying a second home here, or investing from overseas, this is the thinking I'd want in your head before you view anything. Which of these would you have missed? Let me know in the comments. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 — Two £2 million flats, one good buy 1:15 — The asking price is not the value 3:00 — Price per square foot, and where it misleads 3:54 — Micro location changes everything 4:56 — You're buying the building, not just the flat 5:49 — What you pay every single year 6:43 — Are you buying someone else's renovation? 7:41 — Think about the exit before you buy 8:22 — New builds and the premium inside the price 9:05 — Good value doesn't mean cheap 10:17 — Deciding with confidence 10:58 — Work with Ugo 📍 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS 🏘 Asking price vs value — a seller's aspiration, sensible pricing, and testing the market 🏘 Price per square foot — the benchmark, and the two 1,500 sq ft flats it can't tell apart 🏘 Micro location — why the street, the side of the square and the aspect move the number 🏘 The building — lease, reserve fund, management and the works already voted through 🏘 Service charges — £20,000 to £30,000 a year at the upper end, and what it does to yield 🏘 Condition — the turnkey premium, and paying £1m for £500k of work 🏘 The exit — who the natural next buyer is, before you become the seller 🏘 New builds — concierge, parking and pool, and the premium built into the price ✨ ABOUT ME I'm Ugo — a London property agent, American expat, and self-confessed lover of this city. On this channel I share the best of London: the homes, the hidden spots, the restaurants, and the lifestyle that makes this city unlike anywhere else. If you're thinking of buying, selling, or renting in London — or just love seeing beautiful properties and incredible locations — you're in the right place. Thinking about buying in London?

How Can You Tell if a London Property Is Actually Good Value?
A trip to Ice Cream Union on Pavilion Road, tucked just off Sloane Square in Chelsea. 🍦 Judging by the queue, this place is one of London's worst-kept secrets. I wasn't sure a 15-minute wait would be worth it, but with the sun still out and the buzz in the air, it felt like exactly the right way to hold onto summer for a little longer. I went for the Coconut Chocolate Chip and it absolutely hit the spot. A perfect excuse to wander one of my favourite corners of London while the weather was still on my side. If the sun peeks back out, get yourself down here. Shop Pavilion Road, grab a drink or a meal nearby, and finish with ice cream. You won't regret it. Have you been? What's your go-to flavour❓💕
✨ Just before the rain finally decided to show up, I managed to squeeze in one last summer moment
Notice periods under the new grounds are generally longer than the old Section 21 process — and they vary depending on which ground you're using. Give the wrong notice, or the wrong length, and you can end up starting the entire process over. It's the single most common mistake I see overseas landlords make. Not because they don't care — because they're working from what used to be true. We keep a live notice period reference for every ground, so we get it right the first time ✅ Comment CHECKLIST and I'll send the free compliance checklist — or find it at LondonLandlordAdvisory.com
The notice period you're used to giving is probably wrong now ⏳
