Renting reforms are here.
Are you up to date with the changes?
The Renters’ Rights Act is the most significant shake-up of the private rented sector in a generation.
From 1 May 2026, private landlords will not be able to serve new Section 21 notices and will need to use the new grounds for possession. For Section 21 notices already served before 1 May 2026, landlords must begin court possession proceedings on or before 31 July 2026 – after this date, where the landlord has not begun proceedings, the notice will be invalid and the new grounds for possession will apply. If you think you may need to gain possession of your property you should seek legal advice now.
Our fixed fee initial advice service for landlords will help to ensure you are complying with the new legislation.
Fixed Fee Initial Advice
Our Initial Advice service includes:
- Reading associated paperwork regarding your legal issues.
- An initial appointment to discuss legal issues and take your instructions. Appointments can be in-person or via Microsoft Teams/Zoom, whichever is more convenient for you.
- A full note of your meeting.
- A full advice letter setting our your legal position, which will include your options going forward and further staged payments for additional work at hourly and fixed rates (if needed).
