Agents Are Ready, But Is The System? | Survey Response Five months after the implementation of the main Renters’ Rights Act reforms, letting agents feel well prepared for the new regime. But their confidence in their own processes is not matched by confidence in the courts and the possession system supporting them. Our survey found that 98% of agents felt prepared for implementation and 89% are confident they have the processes to remain compliant. Yet 95% lack confidence that the courts can handle increased demand, while 61% say managing landlord expectations has been their biggest challenge. In the final of our three-part series, we explore this gap alongside the latest possession statistics and evidence of wider pressures on the courts. We examine what agents can control, where uncertainty remains and how they can help landlords navigate the new system with realistic expectations. Read Part 1 Here

Tenants Are More Confident – But Do They Understand Their Rights? | Survey Response More than four months after the implementation of the main Renters’ Rights Act reforms, tenants are navigating a rental market in which their rights – and the responsibilities of their landlords and letting agents – have changed significantly. To understand how those changes are being felt in practice, we surveyed letting agents and tenants, exploring everything from landlord confidence and tenant understanding to how well agents are prepared, and confidence in the courts. The findings reveal the market is adjusting, but at different speeds. Landlords appear to be becoming more cautious whist tenants are feeling increasingly confident in their rights. Meanwhile, agents feel well prepared for the new regime – but they’re less confident in the systems supporting it. In this three-part series, we explore what the findings tell us about the rental market after reform. Read Part 1 Here

Landlords Appear More Cautious | Survey Response Four months on from the implementation of the main Renters’ Rights Act reforms, the private rented sector is beginning to adjust to a very different operating environment.

Making Moving More Affordable Moving home is exciting… but it’s also expensive. But that expense shouldn’t mean choosing between affordability and protection.
