As a landlord or property owner, keeping up with new UK rental legislation is essential. Recent updates are set to influence how you manage your rental property, your legal obligations, and how you support your tenants. Understanding these changes now will help you stay compliant, protect your investment, and maintain strong rental income.

At AV Hughes Properties, we specialise in professional property management and landlord support, ensuring every home we manage stays compliant, efficient, and attractive to tenants. Here’s how the new legislation may affect you and how we can help.

1. Increased Compliance Requirements

New regulations mean landlords will face more rigorous compliance demands, especially around safety, energy efficiency, and proper documentation.

This includes:

• Updated EPC requirements

• More frequent property inspections

• Stricter safety certification rules
  

How AV Hughes Properties helps: We handle all compliance on your behalf by arranging inspections, maintaining records, and ensuring your property meets every requirement. With us, you can feel confident your rental remains legally sound and tenant-ready.

2. Stronger Protection for Tenants

The legislation continues to focus on tenant rights, meaning landlords may need to adapt notice periods, rent review procedures, and response times for maintenance issues.

Expect changes such as:

• Longer notice periods

• More regulated rent increases

• Legally defined repair response times
  

How AV Hughes Properties helps: We manage all tenant communication, legal documentation, and maintenance coordination, ensuring you meet every legal obligation while keeping tenants satisfied and your property protected.

3. Changes to Rent Regulations

The new rules may introduce clearer frameworks for how and when rent can be increased, influencing your income planning and compliance requirements.

This may affect:

• Your annual rental income strategy

• The documents you must provide tenants

• Your overall investment yield
  

AV Hughes Properties ensures: Transparent, fully compliant rent reviews handled professionally-keeping you within legal guidelines while maximising your rental income.

4. Impact on Short-Term and Holiday Rentals

If you operate a short-term let or holiday accommodation, you may see changes in licensing rules, occupancy limits, and local restrictions.

These changes could influence:

• Booking availability

• Required safety measures

• Marketing and listing standards
  

With AV Hughes Properties: Our team can manage your short-term let, coordinate compliance checks, optimise listings, and ensure your property stays profitable and fully aligned with current legislation.

5. Shift Towards Digital Record-Keeping

Landlords will be expected to use digital platforms to store compliance certificates, issue tenancy documents, and maintain accessible tenant records.

This involves:

• Digital tenancy agreements

• Online safety certificates

• Transparent, accessible property information
  

AV Hughes Properties makes this effortless: We keep all digital records securely organised, updated, and available saving you time while ensuring complete compliance.
