Shared ownership can be a fantastic route onto the property ladder if buying outright isn't an option. But like any big financial decision, it's important to understand exactly what you're signing up for.

While it can mean a smaller deposit and mortgage, there are also ongoing costs, leasehold responsibilities, restrictions on making changes or renting the property, and it may not suit everyone. It often works best if you're planning to stay put for several years.

The right choice depends on your circumstances, so make sure you know all the facts before making a decision.

Latest for Landlords

A few things worth having on your radar this month:

📢 Renters' Rights Act now in force as of May 2026. Landlords must give proper advance notice of any rent increases, so it's worth reviewing your process if you haven't already.

🏡 EPC changes confirmed. The government has now set a firm deadline of 1 October 2030 for all rental properties to reach a minimum EPC rating of C. This applies to every tenancy, new or existing, so it's not one to leave until the last minute. Spending from October 2025 onwards counts toward the £10,000 cost cap, so there's a real case for starting improvements early.

📈 Rental demand stays strong. London is currently the only UK region seeing rental demand rise, while supply hasn't kept pace. Good news if you're weighing up your options this year.

🤝 As always, get in touch if you'd like a hand reviewing your portfolio against any of the above.

The biggest mistake sellers make?
Overpricing at the start.

Summer often brings outdoor space into sharper focus for buyers, and a well considered garden can quietly lift both appeal and value.

Research suggests that the strongest returns come from versatile additions such as garden rooms or home offices, followed by summer houses and thoughtfully landscaped spaces. Patios, decking and practical storage also perform well, offering buyers easy ways to imagine using the garden day to day.

More lifestyle focused features, like outdoor cooking or seating areas, can add charm and character, helping a home feel ready for entertaining.

Overall, it is often the practical, flexible upgrades that make the most difference, helping a property stand out and feel more complete during viewings.
