7 Days, 7 Lessons -Rental Property Management
The UK rental market is changing. Are you ready?
We know being a landlord feels different today. With new legislation like the Renters Reform Act and shifting market pressures, the old ways of managing property are no longer enough.
But these changes aren't just a threat—they’re an opportunity to build a stronger, more profitable portfolio.
Renter's Reform Act: Your 3 Most Important Questions, Answered.
The Renters (Reform) Act is one of the biggest changes to the UK property market in a generation. But you don’t need to be a lawyer to understand it.
We’re cutting through the legal jargon to answer your three most important questions:
The end of Section 21 and the shift to periodic tenancies.
The new grounds for possession and how to use them correctly.
The proposed ombudsman and what it means for you.
Understanding these core changes is the first step to staying compliant and protecting your assets.
Got a minute? Let's turn knowledge into action.
Now that you know the key changes in the Renters Act, what do you do about them?
Here’s your 3-point checklist to prepare your portfolio and stay compliant:
Review your tenancy agreements: Make sure they are up-to-date and compliant with new periodic tenancy rules.
Audit your property records: Are your gas safety, electrical, and EPC certificates all in order? This is non-negotiable.
Formalize your dispute process: A clear process for handling tenant complaints can save you time, money, and legal battles.
Staying compliant is the essential foundation for a modern, resilient portfolio.
Got a property to let? This is your first line of defense.
The right tenant is your greatest asset. The wrong one can cost you thousands. Don't skip this crucial step!
Here is our 3-step filter for vetting tenants to protect your investment:
The "5 C's" Rule: We check their Character, Credit, Capital, Continuity, and Compliance.
The "Call Back" Test: We don't just rely on written references. A quick phone call to a previous landlord can reveal a lot.
The "Gut Check": After all the formal checks, trust your instincts. If something feels off, it probably is.
A robust vetting process can dramatically reduce your risk.
Maximizing Yield
Got a minute? Let's talk profit.
Compliance is important, but so is profitability. Here are three simple strategies to boost your rental income right now. These are instant ROI boosters you can implement in the next seven days:
Negotiate with suppliers: Don't just accept a renewal quote for insurance or utilities. A little effort can lead to a significant saving.
Optimize your marketing: Upgrade your property listing photos and descriptions. A professional-looking ad can justify a higher rental price.
Add value, not just cost: Small upgrades like smart heating controls or keyless entry can make your property more attractive and justify a slight rent increase.
By focusing on these areas, you can increase your rental yield and build a more profitable portfolio.
The Pre-Deal Risk Filter
What if there was a filter that could save you from 90% of bad property deals?
Before we commit to any property joint venture, we run it through a 4-point filter. It’s not glamorous, but it’s saved us from six-figure mistakes.
Market Safety Check: We look at sold prices, days-on-market trends, and incoming council changes.
Financial Stress Test: We factor in interest rate rises, refurb contingencies, and EPC upgrade costs upfront.
Legal & Compliance Filter: We ensure the property and agreement meet all legal requirements and deadlines.
Partner Alignment: We test partners under "worst case" scenarios. If it fails any stage, we walk away.
This filter is a non-negotiable step to protect your time and money.
