🏠 NEW RENTERS’ RIGHTS UPDATE – WHAT LANDLORDS & TENANTS NEED TO KNOW

The Government has announced the next stage of changes under the Renters’ Rights Act, with new measures designed to make the private rental sector more transparent and easier to navigate.

📋 A new national landlord registration service is coming

From 15 December 2026, the new registration service will begin rolling out across England, starting in the West Midlands before gradually moving to other regions.

When an area is called forward:

🔹 Landlords will be legally required to register their rental properties
🔹 Landlords will have 3 months to register
🔹 Failing to register could result in a fine
🔹 In the future, registration numbers will need to appear on property advertisements
🔹 Tenants will eventually be able to check whether a landlord is registered

The aim is to give tenants greater confidence when choosing a rental property, while also helping good landlords demonstrate that they are operating properly and meeting their responsibilities.

💷 Rent increases – further changes ahead

The Government is also developing a new system for dealing with challenges to rent increases.

For now, tenants who wish to challenge a rent increase will continue to use the First-tier Tribunal. The Government intends for HMRC’s Valuation Office to take on responsibility for initial rent determinations in the future, with the aim of making the process quicker and more efficient.

📅 What does this mean right now?

The registration service will be introduced region by region, so landlords do not all need to register on 15 December 2026.

The Government's current timetable is for all landlords actively letting property to have registered by 14 November 2027.

At Arron James, we’ll continue to keep our landlords and tenants updated as further details and local rollout dates are announced.

🚨Section 21 is gone.

Here's what landlords actually need to know.

⏰ From 1st May 2026, you can no longer serve a Section 21 notice. No more asking a tenant to leave without a reason. That route is closed.

So what now?

🏡 If you want your property back — to sell, or for you or a family member to move back in — you can still do it. But the rules have changed significantly and most landlords don't know the details yet.

Here's what it actually looks like:

📑 You serve a Section 8 notice under the new grounds. Four months’ notice — not two. And if the tenancy is less than 12 months old, you cannot serve it until month 8 (so the notice expires after the first year).

Here's the part that catches landlords completely off guard:

From the moment you serve that notice, the 12 month re-letting restriction begins — regardless of when the tenant actually leaves. You cannot re-let or re-market that property for 12 months from service.

Why does that matter? Because good tenants want stability. The moment you serve notice, there's every chance they start looking immediately and leave within two months — leaving you with a property you cannot legally re-let for the remainder of that 12 month period.

If you're moving back in, that's manageable.

If you're selling, you need to be absolutely certain your agent has priced it correctly — not just told you a number you wanted to hear. Because the selling market right now is bleak. More sellers than buyers. If your price isn't sharp, that empty property sits even longer.

The difference between getting this right and getting it wrong is thousands of pounds.

🏡 STILL ON THE MARKET? MAYBE IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE STRATEGY 🏡

Many sellers are told exactly what they want to hear...

💰 An inflated valuation.
📈 Promises of multiple buyers.
⏰ Weeks and months of waiting.

Only to be asked later:

❌ "Can we reduce the price?"
❌ "The market has changed."
❌ "Let's try another reduction."

Adding a second agent doesn't always solve the problem either.

Sometimes the issue isn't who is selling your property...

It's how it's being sold.

At Arron James, our Modern Method of Sale is helping sellers achieve committed buyers, reduced fall-through rates and a clear route to completion.

✅ Greater buyer commitment
✅ Transparent process
✅ Competitive bidding environment
✅ Reduced fall-through risk
✅ Fixed completion timescales
✅ Ideal for probate, divorce, investment and motivated sellers

If your property isn't getting the attention it deserves, perhaps it's time to change the method.

🏡 NEW TO THE MARKET – SOUTHALL 🏡

📍 7 Rosecroft Road, Southall, UB1 2XH

Three-bedroom mid-terrace on a well-regarded residential road in Southall — the kind of property that works equally well as a family home or a straightforward buy-to-let. The layout is sensible and practical: two good-sized doubles, a single bedroom, a reception room with enough space to actually use, and a downstairs WC that earns its keep in a busy household. The house is in good order throughout, so there's no immediate work to factor in. Out back, there's a great rear garden — not a token outdoor space, but somewhere you'd genuinely use. Off-street parking rounds things off neatly, which in this part of Southall is worth more than it sounds.

This fantastic opportunity is being offered via the Modern Method of Sale (MMOS) – providing greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.

✅ Secure reservation process
✅ Reduced risk of sales falling through
✅ Working towards a 56-day completion timeframe
✅ Greater commitment from all parties
✅ Transparent buying process via our online portal
✅ Ideal for investors and first-time buyers

Unlike traditional property transactions that can drag on for months with no guarantees, the Modern Method of Sale offers a clear route to completion, helping buyers and sellers move forward with confidence.
With a 56-day completion period following acceptance of an offer, purchasers can enjoy greater certainty whilst sellers benefit from a more committed buyer and a reduced risk of last-minute withdrawals.
