Fixed-term ASTs are finished. Every tenancy is periodic — rolling month to month with no end date built in. For a lot of overseas landlords this felt unsettling at first, because it sounds like less control. In practice, it changes your planning, not your protection. You just need your notice periods and grounds sorted in advance instead of relying on a fixed term ending naturally. It's exactly why I've moved my clients onto a proactive review calendar instead of a renewal calendar 🗓️ Comment CHECKLIST and I'll send over my free compliance checklist — or find it at LondonLandlordAdvisory.com
Every single tenancy in England is now open-ended. Here's what that actually means for you 👇
Recently I visited the Goodman Gallery for the Carrie Mae Weems exhibition. Four decades of photography, film and installation — identity, migration, belonging, and the stories that quietly shape how we see history. If you know the Kitchen Table Series, you know why this one matters. The new work asks you to slow down. Look properly. See it differently. And doing it with friends who love London's cultural side as much as I do? That's the part I'll remember. Where should I go next? 👀 📍 Goodman Gallery, London
✨ London's art scene never runs out of surprises.
Rent increases now go through a formal Section 13 notice — once a year, in writing, with a proper notice period. And here's the part that surprises landlords abroad: your tenant can challenge it at tribunal if they think it's above market rate. That means your numbers need to be defensible, not just what you'd like to charge. I build the comparable evidence in before the notice ever goes out — so if it's challenged, you're already covered.

You can't just text your tenant and raise the rent anymore 📱❌
Everyone budgets for the purchase price. Almost nobody budgets for what comes after it. In this video I break down every real cost of buying a second property in the UK — deposit, stamp duty, legal and survey fees, mortgage rates, management, maintenance, insurance, void periods and tax — using a £750,000 London flat as a worked example. You'll see exactly how much cash you need before you complete, and what the rent actually has to cover once you own it. Whether you're relocating to London, buying your first buy-to-let, or investing from overseas, these are the numbers I'd want in front of me before I made an offer. Would that put you off, or is it still worth it?

What Does a Second Property in London REALLY Cost?
Sitting above the Leonardo Royal Hotel with what has to be one of the best views of St Paul’s Cathedral, it’s a great way to spend an evening. For me, the Pennington Summer Party was the perfect excuse to spend an evening with great people, great conversations, and one of the most incredible views in the city. Perched high above and practically next to the cathedral, you’re so close that it feels like you could reach out and touch the iconic dome. London really does know how to put on a summer 🌞evening. Thanks to the Pennington team for a fantastic event - I always enjoy catching up with familiar faces and great referral partners.
