From 1 May 2026, the Renters' Rights Act reshapes how tenancies in England are structured, how possession works, and what overseas London landlords are expected to maintain. If you own a rental property in London but live abroad, the compliance framework is changing — and the time to get aligned is now. In this video, I walk through the 5 key changes every overseas London landlord should understand before 1 May 2026: → The shift from fixed-term ASTs to rolling periodic tenancies → Why Section 8 replaces Section 21 as the primary possession route → The new Private Rented Sector (PRS) database and what you need to register → Mandatory landlord Ombudsman membership → How the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme fits the new picture Whether you already own in London, you're managing remotely through an agent, or you're considering investing in London property as an overseas buyer — this is the framework you need to operate in confidently from May 2026 onwards. 🏛️ FREE Overseas Landlord Resource Hub & Compliance Checklist: 🔗 https://londonlandlordadvisory.com 🏠 Work with me — Onyx Property Team (Buying, Selling & Letting in London): 🌐 https://www.onyxpropertyteam.com 📧 ugo@onyxpropertyteam.com 🔔 Subscribe for weekly London property & landlord insights: https://www.youtube.com/@UgoArinzeh 📲 Follow me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onyxlondonlife Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onyxpropertyteam LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ugo-arinzeh-2809139 ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 — What's changing on 1 May 2026 0:30 — Why this matters if you're managing from abroad 1:05 — Change 1: Fixed-term ASTs become periodic tenancies 2:08 — Change 2: Section 8 becomes the primary possession route 2:33 — Change 3: The Private Rented Sector (PRS) Database 2:57 — Change 4: Ombudsman membership requirements 3:22 — Change 5: Non-Resident Landlord Scheme alignment 3:53 — Inside the LondonLandlordAdvisory.com resource hub 4:43 — What this means for you going forward ❗ This video is for general information only and is not legal or tax advice.

What Overseas Landlords Must Do Before 1 May 2026
This is the kind of bedroom you actually exhale in — soft light, period character, and a calm you only really find on a true SW1 cul-de-sac. Made for slow Sunday mornings, lamplit evenings, and waking up to one of London's most peaceful little streets. ✨ And what makes it really special? You're tucked moments from Sloane Square, Elizabeth Street and Belgravia Village… surrounded by homes valued at £8–10 million and more… and yet this freehold, two-bedroom mews house can be yours for just under £2 million. 💕 The kind of space that makes coming home feel like an escape. 👀 #Belgravia #BurtonMews #PrimeCentralLondon #LondonProperty #FreeholdLondon
Welcome upstairs at Burton Mews… into the quietest corner of this Belgravia home. 🏡
Back on the slopes after over 20 years — though I'll be honest, the après-ski got most of my attention. The sunshine, the food, the conversations... exactly what was needed. And it's always a reminder of how incredible London 🇬🇧 is as a base. A few hours later and you're somewhere completely different. The best kind of weekend. 💕 #SkiWeekend #FrenchAlps #Apres #LondonLife #FriendsTrip
