The rental market is still growing, but the way properties are managed has changed. August is a useful time for landlords to review tenancies, rent processes and record-keeping.

With the abolition of Section 21 under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, landlords, tenants, and property professionals alike are facing a major shift in how possession of rental properties is handled. Those who have relied on previously served Section 21 notices must act immediately—or risk losing their ability to use them altogether.

A fresh coat of paint can help, but missing paperwork can delay a sale for months. Use August to prepare the information buyers and solicitors will need before an offer is agreed.

If moving is starting to feel more realistic, September is a useful time to prepare. Understanding your budget, priorities and local property search now could make things much easier when the right home appears.
