Send us Fan MailFrom April 2027, unspent pension pots will be subject to inheritance tax for the first time and for HNWI London property owners, the combined effect of IHT and income tax could leave families with as little as a third of what was saved. Farnaz Fazaipour is joined by Alan Kennedy, Managing Director of Trident Tax, to work through the numbers and the options: mirror wills, the 25% tax-free lump sum, property gifting strategies, the seven-year survival clock, deed of variation, and what overseas owners often get wrong about UK assets.

Send us Fan MailFor almost 30 years, the same structural problem has repeated: the government regulates property owners directly because the agents advising them carry no professional accountability. No licence. No exams. No liability. In this Friday Opinion, Farnaz Fazaipour makes the case that the compliance burden has been landing in the wrong place — and asks whether mandating agent regulation would genuinely ease that burden, or simply add another layer to a market that already has too much of it.The London Property Podcast Hosted by Farnaz Fazaipour, londonproperty.co.ukIndependent intelligence for serious London property owners and investors.Every episode cuts through the noise with 30 years of prime London market experience  no estate agent spin, no vested interests.

Send us Fan MailFive things worth knowing this week.1. Prices dip, transactions drop.Halifax confirmed a 0.1% fall in UK house prices in May. London and the South East led the decline. Residential transactions fell 3% in April to just over 101,000. Higher inflation expectations are keeping borrowing costs elevated despite recent cuts. For prime London owners, the headline number is less important than the direction — when transactions fall, liquidity tightens, and liquidity is what protects value when you need to move.2. Legal complexity at the top end is accelerating.Compliance demands, AML requirements, and due diligence obligations are adding time, cost, and friction to high-value completions. This is not new — but it is getting faster. Assembling the right legal team before you need it is now part of the transaction itself.3. The Remediation Bill — another layer.Coming on top of leasehold reform, the Renters' Rights Act, and successive tax changes, the Remediation Bill adds to a regulatory stack that is now material in its cumulative weight. If you have multiple properties or development interests, map your exposure now.4. Planning reform: fewer decisions to committee.The government's National Scheme of Delegation will mean more decisions delegated to officers, fewer going to committee. Faster in theory — but less opportunity to challenge through the political process. The officer relationship matters more than it used to.5. India's UHNWI population up 27% by 2031.India's ultra-high-net-worth cohort is projected to cross 25,000 individuals by 2031. Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Marylebone have all seen sustained Indian UHNWI interest over the past decade. As that population grows, so does the pool of prospective prime London buyers.

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sits down with French historian and author Laurent Guyénot to discuss his groundbreaking book From Yahweh to Zion — a sweeping and controversial examination of how the Old Testament forged the foundations of Jewish identity, Zionism, and modern geopolitics.We explore Guyénot's argument that an ancient priestly elite transformed the Hebrew conception of God into an instrument of power, creating a “tribal deity” whose legacy continues to shape modern Israel and its policies today. The conversation also delves into Guyénot's theories about Israel's role in the Kennedy assassinations and 9/11, and how biblical narratives of chosenness and vengeance persist in modern statecraft.Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, this is a rare deep dive into the intersection of theology, history, and geopolitics that few dare to touch.Order the book: From Yahweh to Zion by Laurent GuyénotFollow Laurent Guyénot:Twitter: @Laurent_GuyenotSubstack: radbod.substack.comListen now and decide for yourself where faith, history, and power truly converge.Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?
