The UK government has launched a long-anticipated consultation looking at whether the legal rights of cohabiting couples should be reformed, following a noticeable rise in property disputes involving unmarried homeowners.

The UK property market has entered 2026 with a powerful statement, as investment into the build-to-rent (BTR) sector reaches an impressive £3 billion in just the first half of the year. This marks the second-strongest start to any year on record, reinforcing the continued confidence investors have in the UK rental market.

Rental growth has eased, but tenants are still searching carefully and landlords need to stay on top of pricing, compliance and property standards as the summer moving season continues.

The UK property market is entering a new phase—one defined not by urgency, but by choice. For estate agents, sellers, and landlords alike, the landscape is shifting, bringing both challenges and opportunities in equal measure.
