🏡 Government confirms plans to abolish insured tenancy deposit schemes

Another significant change is on the horizon for the Private Rented Sector.

The Government has confirmed its intention to move away from insured tenancy deposit schemes, with the long-term aim of requiring all tenancy deposits to be held in custodial schemes instead.

For many professional portfolio landlords, this may not fundamentally change how your investments perform. However, it is another clear indication of the direction of travel:

✔️ Greater regulation
✔️ Increased transparency
✔️ More independent oversight of landlord obligations

Whether you manage your own portfolio or work with an agent, now is the time to review your processes and ensure they remain fit for an increasingly regulated market.

At William Jones, we believe successful property investment is no longer just about acquiring assets—it’s about maintaining robust compliance and reducing operational risk.

The proposal has been confirmed by the Government, but legislation and implementation dates are still to follow. We’ll continue to monitor developments and keep our landlords informed as more detail emerges.

🏡 Government unveils major shake-up of the home buying process

Buying a home is stressful enough.

Delays, uncertainty, duplicated paperwork and transactions falling through at the last minute have become an accepted part of moving home in England and Wales. They shouldn't be.

The Government has now announced plans to modernise the home buying process, with proposals including more information being available upfront, greater use of digital technology and measures designed to reduce delays and failed transactions.

At William Jones, we welcome these changes.

Anything that helps buyers and sellers make informed decisions earlier, reduces wasted time and improves certainty throughout the transaction is a positive step forward for the property industry.

Moving home is one of the biggest financial commitments most people will ever make. A smoother, faster and more transparent process can only be good news for buyers, sellers and professionals alike.

We'll be following these proposals closely and look forward to seeing meaningful improvements that help more people move with confidence.

From 23rd June 2026 new changes to HHSRS

The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) has been updated, but the reality for landlords remains the same: councils will continue to focus enforcement on the hazards that present the greatest risk to occupants.

If you’re reviewing your portfolio this month, I’d focus on these seven areas first:

✔ Damp and mould
✔ Excess cold
✔ Electrical safety
✔ Fire safety
✔ Falls on stairs and steps
✔ Structural defects
✔ Poor ventilation and condensation

These are the issues most likely to result in improvement notices, enforcement action, costly remedial works and, in some cases, civil penalties.

The challenge for portfolio landlords is that many of these hazards develop gradually. A property can appear to be performing well while underlying issues are building unnoticed.

Regular inspections, preventative maintenance and early intervention are often far cheaper than responding to formal enforcement action.

With increasing regulation across the private rented sector, the landlords who treat compliance as an ongoing asset management exercise rather than a reactive process will be best positioned to protect both rental income and long-term asset value.

Which of these hazards are you finding most commonly across your portfolio?
