Future-proof your portfolio

Eyes wide open. Two steps ahead.

The rules are changing and the market is moving. The landlords who do well from here take a fresh approach: they're educated, they buy well, they run modern lettings and they put compliance first. That's the future landlord.

People still need homes

EPC targets, tax, new legislation, licensing and compliance: the challenges keep coming. Whatever the obstacles, people still need good places to live, and good landlords to provide them.

We love property, and we know what a good home means to the people who live in it.

That's the beating heart of what we do: home.

Three things that set the future landlord apart

Compliance comes first

The rules keep changing and the penalties keep rising. We keep your lettings compliant and keep you up to date, so nothing catches you out.

Are your lettings compliant?

Up to speed with all the changes? Eleven quick questions, one at a time, to see where you stand. Your answers stay on this page unless you ask us to email them to you.

  1. 1Have you moved your lettings onto the Renters' Rights rules?
    What this means

    Since 1 May 2026 every tenancy in England is an assured periodic tenancy with no fixed end date. Section 21 has gone, so getting a property back means using a section 8 ground. Rent can rise once a year using the formal section 13 notice, you can ask for no more than one month's rent in advance, rental bidding is banned, and you can't unreasonably refuse a tenant's written request to keep a pet (you have 28 days to reply).

  2. 2Have all your tenants had the right written information?
    What this means

    Tenancies that started before 1 May 2026 with written terms needed the government's Renters' Rights Act Information Sheet by 31 May 2026. For every new tenancy, you must give the tenant written information about the key terms before the tenancy is agreed. Missing these can mean a fine of up to £7,000.

  3. 3Are you ready to register on the new landlord database?
    What this means

    A national database of private landlords and rented homes in England starts rolling out region by region from late 2026. Registration will be compulsory, and you'll record details of each property and its safety checks. Councils will use it to spot non-compliant lettings.

  4. 4Do you know about the new landlord ombudsman?
    What this means

    A private rented sector ombudsman is on the way, with membership for every private landlord expected to become compulsory in 2028. Tenants will be able to take complaints to it, and it will be able to order landlords to put things right.

  5. 5Does every property have a valid EPC rated E or above, and a plan for C?
    What this means

    Rented homes need a valid Energy Performance Certificate rated at least E, and tenants must be given a copy. The government plans to raise the minimum to C by 2030, so it's worth planning improvements now rather than all at once later.

  6. 6Do you know whether your properties need a licence?
    What this means

    Larger HMOs (five or more people from two or more households) need a mandatory licence everywhere in England. Many councils also run additional or selective licensing schemes covering smaller HMOs or every rented home in certain areas. Rules differ from council to council, so check each property's area.

  7. 7Do you know about Awaab's Law?
    What this means

    Awaab's Law sets legal deadlines for investigating and fixing damp, mould and other serious hazards. It applies to social housing now, and the government plans to extend it to private rentals, expected from 2027 after consultation. Dealing with damp and mould quickly is good practice in the meantime.

  8. 8Are your gas and electrical safety checks up to date?
    What this means

    Gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every year, and electrical installations need an inspection (an EICR) at least every five years. Tenants must be given copies of both.

  9. 9Is there a working smoke alarm on every floor, and a carbon monoxide alarm where needed?
    What this means

    You need a smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers aside). Check they work at the start of each tenancy and repair them promptly when told they're faulty.

  10. 10Is every deposit protected?
    What this means

    Deposits must be capped at five weeks' rent (where annual rent is under £50,000), protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days, and backed up with the required information given to the tenant.

  11. 11Do you check every adult tenant's right to rent?
    What this means

    In England you must check that every adult who will live in the property has the right to rent before the tenancy starts, and keep a record of the check.

    Tenant buyers: coming soon from King's Lynn to Ipswich

    Why not let to a tenant buyer?

    Tired of letting, or finding your property slow to sell? A tenant buyer rents your property with the aim of buying it. They're looking for a home to settle in, not just somewhere to stay, and you have a future buyer already living there.

    For landlords who want to step back, and homeowners whose property isn't selling. Here's how it could work.

    1. Tell us about your propertyWhere it is, what it's worth and what you'd like to happen next.
    2. We find a tenant buyerSomeone with a steady income who wants to buy, checked and referenced before they move in.
    3. They make it their homeThey rent your property and look after it as the home they hope to own.
    4. They buy when they're readyOnce they have their mortgage and deposit in place, the sale goes ahead.
    • Before you commit, we'll set out every detail, cost and risk in writing.
    • We'll encourage you to take independent legal advice.
    • Not every tenant buyer will go on to buy, and we'll explain what happens if they don't.
