Section 21 has gone. Fixed-term tenancies have been removed. New compliance requirements are arriving — and if you're an overseas landlord with property in London, you may be wondering what exactly you need to do now. I'm Ugo Arinzeh, founder of the Onyx Property Team. I'm an American living in London and a former real estate investment banker, and my team and I help landlords buy, rent and manage property across London — many of them based overseas, in New York, Lagos, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and beyond. Over the last year, no topic has dominated my landlord conversations more than the Renters' Rights Act. In this video I walk you through the most important changes, the mistakes I see overseas landlords make, and the practical steps you should take right now to protect your investment. Depending on which headline you've read, you might think this is the end of private landlords in the UK — or that nothing has changed at all. The reality sits somewhere in the middle, and I break down exactly where. I've also put together a free resource at londonlandlordadvisory.com, where you can download a free compliance checklist built specifically for overseas landlords. 🏠 CHAPTERS 0:00 The alarming headlines landlords keep hearing 0:28 Who I am & who this video is for 0:53 What the Renters' Rights Act actually is (hype vs reality) 1:09 Why investors still choose London 1:47 Free compliance checklist — londonlandlordadvisory.com 1:57 Change #1 — Section 21 is abolished 2:32 Change #2 — The end of fixed-term tenancies 3:04 Change #3 — How rent increases work now 3:23 Change #4 — Restrictions on rent paid in advance 3:46 Change #5 — New compliance & the landlord database 3:58 Why it's a lot to track (the London Landlord Advisory hub) 4:29 The biggest risk isn't the law — it's distance 5:13 Why documentation & professional management now matter 5:32 Has London become anti-landlord? 6:07 5 steps every overseas landlord should take now 7:00 Get your overseas landlord compliance checklist 7:14 Subscribe & follow THE 5 STEPS I RECOMMEND (covered from 6:07): 1. Download a compliance checklist so you have a framework for what applies to you 2. Review your tenancy documentation — agreements, notices and procedures 3. Review your rent strategy and how future increases will work 4. Prepare early for the upcoming landlord database requirements 5. Evaluate your property management — if you called them today, would you be confident in their answer on the Renters' Rights Act? I'm an American who relocated to London myself, so I understand managing a London property from another country — and why the biggest risk usually isn't any single clause in the legislation. It's distance. When you're thousands of miles away it's easy to assume everything is being handled. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. The new framework places far greater weight on documentation, record-keeping and process — so the Renters' Rights Act isn't just changing tenancy law, it's changing the importance of professional property management. If you own a London property from overseas — or you're thinking about becoming a landlord here — my team and I would be delighted to help. ------ WORK WITH UGO: Looking to buy, rent, or manage property in London?

Section 21 Has Gone (Here's What You Need to Do Instead)
...once a commercial space, now a beautiful three-bedroom home in the heart of Hoxton. 🏡 It's not often you walk into a property with a story quite like this one. What was once an everyday commercial unit has been completely reimagined into a calm, light-filled three-bedroom flat — and the transformation really is something special. ✨ Inside, the design does all the talking. A sleek open-plan kitchen in soft, muted tones flows effortlessly into a relaxed dining area, while the living space is wrapped in natural light, warm wood floors and the kind of considered styling that makes you want to stay a while. 🤍 What I love most is just how versatile a home like this is — three generous bedrooms, wonderful entertaining space, and a location that puts the very best of Hoxton, Shoreditch and the City right on your doorstep. 💕 📩 Whether you're looking to invest in London, find your next home, or want end-to-end support on a property of your own — DM me anytime, I'd love to chat 💛 #WenlockRoad #HoxtonLondon #LondonProperty #CommercialToResidential #LondonInvestment
✨ Step inside Wenlock Road…
This is where the thoughtful touches really come to life. It's something as simple as an interesting mix of materials that gives this space its character — octagonal floor tiles balanced against beautiful large marble, a diagonal subway run picked out with black grout, and warm brass fittings that tie it all together. ✨ We helped our American clients acquire this Bloomsbury apartment as a long-term London investment, then project-managed the full refurbishment from start to finish. From the heated towel rail to the elegant glass walk-in shower, every layer has been thought through to feel calm, considered, and effortless to live in. 💕 Because in a home like this, it's never just about fitting a bathroom — it's about creating a space where every thought has been considered. A truly wonderful space. 🏡 📩 Whether you're looking to invest in London, find your next rental, or want end-to-end support on a property of your own — DM me anytime, I'd love to chat 💛 #WitleyCourt #BloomsburyLondon #LondonBathroom #AmericanBuyersInLondon #FromPurchaseToLet
✨ Step into the bathroom at Witley Court… where every detail has been considered. 🤍
Practical? Not especially. Cold? Slightly. Fun? Completely. There's something about being in the mountains with your best people that just makes you want to capture it properly. Glad we did — and glad we didn't take ourselves too seriously in the process. 💕 #SkiWeekend #FrenchAlps #PhotoShoot #FriendsTrip #LondonLife
✨ Every good ski trip needs a professional photoshoot, don't you agree? 😉
Wenlock Road, Hoxton — one of East London's quietest, most under-the-radar pockets, and the setting for this beautifully reworked 2-bedroom apartment. Step inside with me for the full tour: open-plan reception with a Yamaha upright, twin boucle sofas and a marble coffee table, a generous master with bespoke wardrobes, a flexible study/guest room, and that signature Hoxton skyline view. If you're thinking of buying, renting or relocating in N1, this one shows exactly what good Hoxton stock looks like in 2026. 🏠 CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Wenlock Road, Hoxton 00:25 The building & first impressions 00:40 Entrance hallway & coat closet 00:55 Inner hallway, built-in storage & bookshelves 01:10 Open-plan reception reveal 01:30 Living room: boucle sofas, marble table & city view 01:55 Dining area, kitchen & piano corner 02:20 Second bedroom / home office 02:45 Principal bedroom & dressing area 03:10 Bathroom 03:30 The Hoxton location: why Wenlock Road 03:50 Final thoughts & how to enquire 📍 LOCATION Wenlock Road, Hoxton, London N1 — moments from Old Street, Shoreditch and Regent's Canal. 💬 WORK WITH ONYX Selling, buying or relocating to London?
