Finding the right tenant is one thing… making sure you’re carrying out the correct Right to Rent process is another.

From October 2026, updated Right to Rent guidance comes into force in England, with eVisas and digital checks becoming an increasingly important part of the process.

If you’re a self-managing landlord, simply looking at a tenant’s documents may not be enough. Following the correct process is important and can help protect you against a potential civil penalty.

Not completely confident your process is up to date?

Since May, Section 21 has no longer been available to landlords in England.

That means landlords can’t rely on the same possession process they may have used for years.

If you need to regain possession of your property, the reason, notice and process you follow now matter more than ever.

Don’t wait until you need the property back to understand the new rules.

Make sure you know where you stand before a situation arises.

The rules changed on 1 May, but did the way you manage your property change with them?

Landlords are now operating under a very different framework, including:
No more Section 21
Assured periodic tenancies across the PRS
New rent increase rules
New tenancy information requirements
Restrictions on rental bidding
Stronger protections around children, benefits and pets

These aren’t future changes anymore.

They’re the rules your tenancy should be operating under today.

If your processes still look exactly the same as they did at the start of the year, now is a good time to review them.

Speak to our team and make sure nothing has been missed.

If someone asked you today for the key paperwork and compliance records for every property in your portfolio, how quickly could you find them?

For landlords with multiple properties, missing documents and outdated compliance records can quickly become a headache.

And with further rental reforms on the way, staying organised is only becoming more important.

Now is a good time to review:
Your property records
Key compliance documents
Outstanding issues
Anything that hasn’t been reviewed recently

Don’t wait for another requirement to expose gaps in your portfolio.

Get organised now and put yourself in a stronger position for whatever comes next.

The Renters’ Rights Act reforms in May weren’t the end of the changes facing landlords.

The next phase is already getting closer.

The new Private Rented Sector Database is expected to begin rolling out from late 2026, creating a central record of landlords and privately rented properties.

Landlords will ultimately need to register themselves and their properties.
It might feel like there’s plenty of time, but late 2026 isn’t far away.
The landlords who prepare early will be in a much stronger position when registration begins.

Now is the time to understand what’s coming.

Selling a rental property isn’t something landlords can leave until the last minute anymore.

With Section 21 no longer available, landlords intending to sell will generally need to use Ground 1A to regain possession.

That comes with specific rules around when the ground can be used and the notice that must be given.

So, if there’s even a chance you could sell within the next 12 months, understanding your tenancy position now could save problems further down the line.

Thinking of selling? Start planning before you need to.

If selling your rental property is on the cards, one of the biggest decisions is whether to sell it with the tenant in place or with vacant possession.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

You’ll need to weigh up things like:
Your current tenancy
The likely sale value
Investor demand
Timescales
The income you’d give up by ending the tenancy

The right route depends on your property, your tenant and what you’re trying to achieve.

If you’re considering selling in the next 12 months, speak to our team before making any decisions.

Rent increases aren’t something landlords should simply guess at.

Since the Renters’ Rights Act reforms came into force, assured periodic tenancies generally require landlords to follow the Section 13 process when increasing rent, including serving the correct notice and using the prescribed form.

Tenants can also challenge an increase if they believe it exceeds the open-market rent.
So before choosing a new figure, make sure you understand both:
What your property is worth AND the correct process for increasing the rent.

Our team can review your property, tenancy position and the current market to help you understand your options.

When did you last properly review the rent on your property?

If it’s been 12 months or more, the market may have moved while your rent hasn’t.
Even a relatively small difference each month can add up to hundreds, or potentially thousands, of pounds over the course of a year.

The question is simple:
What would your property realistically achieve if it was advertised today?
If you don’t know, now is a good time to find out.

Speak to our team for an up-to-date look at your property and the current rental market.

Here's a simple question every landlord should ask themselves...

If your local authority asked to see your compliance records tomorrow, could you find everything quickly?

If the answer is "yes", great.

If it's "no"... or even "I'm not sure"...

Now is the time to get organised.

Good compliance isn't about remembering every regulation.

It's about having simple systems that keep your paperwork, inspections and maintenance records up to date.

A little organisation today could prevent a very expensive headache in the future.
