Keeping Up to Date with Landlord Legislation

Keeping Up to Date with Landlord Legislation

As a landlord, staying on top of ever-changing legislation isn’t just a good idea, it’s essential. With over 150 laws and regulations impacting the private rented sector, missing something can lead to costly fines, legal action, or even eviction claims.

Why It Matters?

Legislative requirements span safety standards (such as EPC ratings, gas and electrical checks), tenancy rules, deposit protection, and property condition. Being unaware or non-compliant can result in serious financial and reputational risk. 


How to Stay Ahead

Regularly check official sources (like gov.uk) for updates and implementation dates.
Partner with an agent or service who actively monitors legislation and supports compliance.
Treat compliance not as a cost, but as protection for your investment and your tenants.


Act Now

Legislation is not static, new reforms are already shaping the future of renting. For example the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, which received Royal Assent in October 2025 and introduces major changes for landlords in England. Being proactive means you stay ahead of risk, ensure your properties remain attractive to quality tenants, and protect your investment.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

When it comes to securing a mortgage, it’s not just about finding the best rate, it’s about finding the best support. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home, or investing in property, the process can often feel overwhelming.

If you’re planning to buy a home soon, you might assume the best place to start is on the property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. But the truth is, the savviest buyers are seeing homes long before they ever appear online. Here’s why registering with an agent puts you one step ahead.
