When tenants move out, it’s not just about handing over the keys and advertising the property again. The period between tenancies is a crucial window for landlords in the UK to ensure the property is legally compliant, safe, and attractive to new tenants.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

Moving in together for the first time is one of life’s biggest milestones. Renting your first property as a couple in the UK is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming with so many factors to consider — from finances and tenancy agreements to lifestyle adjustments and long-term planning.

For landlords across the UK, the end of a tenancy brings with it one of the most sensitive and frequently disputed topics — the return of the tenant’s deposit. While most tenancies end smoothly, issues such as property damage, cleaning, or unpaid rent can lead to the need for deductions.
