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.

...and Belgrave Square is about as good as they get. 🤍 Looking back on the LonRes Summer Party earlier this summer, behind those famous railings, in a private garden most Londoners will never get to walk through, with what felt like half of London's property world in one place. Coming to this city from the States, nights like this still get me. Familiar faces, a few new ones, and everyone swapping stories about the homes and the neighbourhoods we all love a little too much. Thank you to the LonRes team for a beautiful evening. Until next year. 🥂
There's very little that beats a summer evening in a London garden square
American buyers now account for around 30% of Prime Central London sales above £5 million — up from roughly 20% at the end of last year. The interesting part isn't the number. It's why. In this video I unpack the research behind the headline: who these buyers actually are, why so many of them are landing in Mayfair, how London's pricing compares to Manhattan, Miami, Paris, Monaco and Dubai, and the shift in what they want — finished, lateral, serviced apartments rather than a two-year renovation. I also cover the costs and cautions that come with buying at this level, from stamp duty to leasehold to service charges. Whether you're relocating from the US, buying a second home in London, or weighing prime central against another global city, this is the context I'd want before I started viewing. Would you buy in London right now, or wait? Let me know in the comments. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 — The headline that caught my eye 1:02 — What the 30% figure really means 1:44 — Who these American buyers are 2:50 — Relative value: London against the world 3:50 — Why they want turnkey, not a renovation 4:49 — Mayfair, and where else they're buying 5:50 — What London still offers that others can't 6:48 — The costs and the cautions 7:59 — Start with how you'll use it 📍 AREAS COVERED 🏘 Mayfair, W1 — the centre of the demand · 165+ fintech companies and around 200 private equity firms · sales volumes up c.15% in the first five months of 2026 🏘 Belgravia, SW1 — still one of the two anchors of prime central alongside Knightsbridge 🏘 Knightsbridge, SW1 — prestige, retail and privacy, and consistently on the shortlist 🏘 St John's Wood, NW8 — where the conversation moves when children and schools come into it 🏘 Marylebone, W1 — village feel inside zone one, increasingly a family alternative to Mayfair 🏘 Chelsea, SW3 — townhouses, the King's Road and riverside living 🏘 Kensington, W8 — museums, parks and the international school run 📊 THE RESEARCH BEHIND THIS VIDEO 📈 Beauchamp Estates — American share of Prime Central London sales above £5 million, and Mayfair sales volumes 📈 Hamptons — buyers from the US and Canada at 19% of overseas-based applicants buying in Britain, a record share, up from 15% a year earlier 📈 Central London values more than 20% below their 2014 peak 📈 Typical American budgets of £5–£15 million, for apartments of roughly 2,000–3,000 sq ft Thinking about buying in London from the US?

Americans Are Flocking to London More Than Ever (Here's Why)
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

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
