Head over heels in love with your home?

Buying a home is like falling in love. You can expect to go through the same ups and downs, emotional tugs and pulls, and even similar stages.


  • The one that got away? Don't panic, there are plenty more fish in the sea! 2023 is predicted to be a buyer’s market and around 1 million properties are expected to change hands (UK Finance).
  • Broken heart? Don’t worry, it’s not just you! It is estimated in the region of 1 in 3 property sales fall through before completion. Buyers having a change of heart is the biggest cause.
  • Hopelessly devoted to that home? Don’t be a fool in love, never settle for what doesn’t feel right! According to the 2021/22 English Housing Survey an owner-occupier spends on average 17.6 years in their home, so pick well as you are in it for the long haul!

The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.

Setting the right price for your property is paramount. Overpricing, while seemingly harmless, can silently sabotage your sale, leading to prolonged market time and ultimately, a lower sale price. Let's explore why.

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 significantly alters residential possession proceedings in the UK, particularly by abolishing Section 21 'no-fault' evictions. Landlords must now primarily rely on Section 8 grounds, necessitating a clear understanding of these updated legal requirements to ensure compliance and effective property management.

The rental market continues to shift, with new rules, rising rents and affordability pressures all shaping landlord decisions. July is a good time to review your property and your plans.
