From Your Local Estate Agent
The UK rental landscape is changing – and if you're currently renting, it's essential to understand your rights and how they may evolve under the proposed Renters’ Reform Bill. As your trusted estate agent, we’re here to break it down simply and help you prepare.
🔍 What’s Changing?
The government is introducing new legislation to improve security and fairness for tenants. Here are some key points:
End of Section 21 “No-Fault” Evictions: Landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants without a valid reason.
New Property Standards: Homes will have to meet a Decent Homes Standard – meaning safer, better-maintained properties for renters.
Improved Notice Periods: If you decide to leave, notice periods may become more tenant-friendly.
Stronger Grounds for Complaints: Renters will be able to challenge unfair rent hikes or poor conditions more easily.
🛠️ How Can You Prepare?
Keep Records: Maintain communication records with your landlord or agent in case of disputes.
Know Your Rights: Understanding the upcoming changes can help you make more confident decisions.
Stay Informed: Follow updates from trusted sources (like us!) to stay ahead of the curve.
We’re here to support you through every step of your renting journey. Whether you’re renewing a lease or seeking a new home, these changes are designed to improve your experience – and we’ll help you benefit from them.
