The rules are changing and the market is moving. The landlords who do well from here take a fresh approach: they're educated, they buy well, they run modern lettings and they put compliance first. That's the future landlord.
EPC targets, tax, new legislation, licensing and compliance: the challenges keep coming. Whatever the obstacles, people still need good places to live, and good landlords to provide them.
We love property, and we know what a good home means to the people who live in it.

Up to speed with all the changes? Eleven quick questions, one at a time, to see where you stand. Your answers stay on this page unless you ask us to email them to you.
Since 1 May 2026 every tenancy in England is an assured periodic tenancy with no fixed end date. Section 21 has gone, so getting a property back means using a section 8 ground. Rent can rise once a year using the formal section 13 notice, you can ask for no more than one month's rent in advance, rental bidding is banned, and you can't unreasonably refuse a tenant's written request to keep a pet (you have 28 days to reply).
Tenancies that started before 1 May 2026 with written terms needed the government's Renters' Rights Act Information Sheet by 31 May 2026. For every new tenancy, you must give the tenant written information about the key terms before the tenancy is agreed. Missing these can mean a fine of up to £7,000.
A national database of private landlords and rented homes in England starts rolling out region by region from late 2026. Registration will be compulsory, and you'll record details of each property and its safety checks. Councils will use it to spot non-compliant lettings.
A private rented sector ombudsman is on the way, with membership for every private landlord expected to become compulsory in 2028. Tenants will be able to take complaints to it, and it will be able to order landlords to put things right.
Rented homes need a valid Energy Performance Certificate rated at least E, and tenants must be given a copy. The government plans to raise the minimum to C by 2030, so it's worth planning improvements now rather than all at once later.
Larger HMOs (five or more people from two or more households) need a mandatory licence everywhere in England. Many councils also run additional or selective licensing schemes covering smaller HMOs or every rented home in certain areas. Rules differ from council to council, so check each property's area.
Awaab's Law sets legal deadlines for investigating and fixing damp, mould and other serious hazards. It applies to social housing now, and the government plans to extend it to private rentals, expected from 2027 after consultation. Dealing with damp and mould quickly is good practice in the meantime.
Gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every year, and electrical installations need an inspection (an EICR) at least every five years. Tenants must be given copies of both.
You need a smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers aside). Check they work at the start of each tenancy and repair them promptly when told they're faulty.
Deposits must be capped at five weeks' rent (where annual rent is under £50,000), protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days, and backed up with the required information given to the tenant.
In England you must check that every adult who will live in the property has the right to rent before the tenancy starts, and keep a record of the check.

Tenant buyers: coming soon from King's Lynn to Ipswich
Tired of letting, or finding your property slow to sell? A tenant buyer rents your property with the aim of buying it. They're looking for a home to settle in, not just somewhere to stay, and you have a future buyer already living there.
For landlords who want to step back, and homeowners whose property isn't selling. Here's how it could work.
