- Pre-tenancy walk-throughs for properties going on the market in September
- EPC reviews for any property currently rated D or below
- Inspection-readiness reviews for portfolios most exposed to HHSRS enforcement
- Filing audits ahead of the PRS Database opening in your area
- Property visits on any tenancy that hasn’t had one since the rules changed on 1 May
- EICR renewals for any property whose certificate is approaching its five-year point

None of this is urgent in July. All of it gets noticeably more difficult once the autumn instructions hit.

Network-wide audits and property visits available through August.

The Government has confirmed the direction of travel for the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES). The current minimum EPC rating for rented properties is E. The proposed minimum is C, with phased application across new and existing tenancies.

Exact commencement dates are still being finalised, so this isn’t something that requires action this week. It does benefit from a portfolio-wide audit now, so any properties currently sitting at D or below can be planned into a sensible upgrade schedule rather than rushed through under a deadline.

The cheapest version of compliance is the one you plan twelve months in advance. The most expensive is the one you arrange after a tenant has reported a cold property to the council.

https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0wP13-0 and the NRLA are the source of truth on commencement dates.

Wondering whether your portfolio’s EPC ratings are up to date? A property visit can include verification of the current rating. Send us a message to book.

A property with no tenant in it isn’t a property with no risk.

Things that surface in empty properties during summer:

- Leaks that nobody is there to report
- Heating systems that develop faults nobody notices until October
- Gardens that get away from you in a fortnight of hot weather
- Pest activity, particularly in properties left with food packaging or rubbish
- Mail and post building up, which is also a security signal to anyone watching the property

A visit between tenancies catches the things that are invisible to anyone not in the building.

Got properties with a gap of more than two weeks between tenancies this summer? Send us a message to book a void-period visit.

A genuine test of how organised your filing is, with the PRS Database registration process approaching.

- Current gas safety certificate
- Current electrical installation condition report (EICR)
- EPC, in date
- Smoke and CO alarm verification dates
- Tenancy agreement with the current version of all required information
- Information Sheet service record (for tenancies in place before 1 May)
- Most recent check-in inventory, signed by tenant where applicable
- Any property visit reports since 1 May
- Right to Rent check records
- Deposit protection details and prescribed information

If any of these would take more than five minutes to locate, the PRS Database registration process is going to be slower than it needs to be when your area opens for registration.

A pre-tenancy walk-through, completed before the property is advertised, surfaces the things that will otherwise become first-week complaints from a new tenant.
Some of what gets picked up:
- Smoke and CO alarms not working
- Light fittings missing bulbs or sockets that have stopped working
- Cleaning that hasn’t been done to a lettable standard
- Gardens or outdoor spaces that need attention before the listing photos go up
- Inventory items missing or damaged from the last tenancy that weren’t flagged at check-out

For agents preparing properties for the autumn lettings cycle, this is the month to schedule that work, not the morning the listing goes live.

Got properties going on the market in August or September? Message us to schedule a pre-tenancy visit.

17/07/2026

Under the Renters’ Rights Act, new tenancies signed after 1 May 2026 must include certain prescribed information in writing. The simplest way to comply is by including it in a written tenancy agreement, which most agents already do.

The information that has to be in writing includes:
- The names of the parties to the tenancy
- The address of the property
- The amount of rent and when it is payable
- How and when rent can be increased (which is only via Form 4A under Section 13)
- The amount of any deposit and which scheme it is protected in
- Any other agreed terms of the tenancy

For agents using template tenancy agreements signed before 1 May, the templates need updating. Civil penalties for failing to provide this written information go up to £7,000.

For landlords who manage their own lets, this is the gap most likely to catch you out. A handshake agreement no longer meets the legal standard.

Under the revised HHSRS effective 23 June, damp and mould fall under "Indoor Air Pollutants" and remain a high-priority hazard category.

A few things worth landlords knowing:
- The Renters’ Rights Act makes it explicitly illegal to evict a tenant in retaliation for reporting damp, mould or other property issues
- Councils can now impose civil penalties without first serving an improvement notice if a Category 1 damp or mould hazard is identified
- Awaab’s Law is being extended to the private rented sector, which will set strict timescales for landlord response to damp and mould reports

For agents, every tenant report of damp or mould now needs a documented response. Acknowledgement, investigation, action, and confirmation back to the tenant. The paperwork trail matters as much as the fix.

A property visit that picks up early-stage damp before the tenant reports it is the easiest version of this conversation.

14/07/2026

Under the Renters’ Rights Act, tenants on assured periodic tenancies (which from 1 May is every tenant) can serve two months’ notice at any point during the tenancy. Notice can be served shorter than two months only where agreed in writing between landlord and tenant.

What this changes in practice:
• The 6 or 12 month "secure" window agents historically built portfolios around is gone
• A tenancy can end with two months’ notice in month three, or month thirty-three. There is no longer a fixed-term anchor
• Re-letting processes need to be ready to spin up at any point in the year, not just at renewal time
• Inventory and check-out scheduling has to be more flexible than it was

Section 21 abolition was the loud story. Tenant flexibility is the quiet one that changes how the portfolio actually behaves.

A current property visit on file makes any unplanned check-out significantly easier. Send us a message to discuss
