Only 17% of Landlords Know This Law Is Coming… Are You One of Them

Only 17% of Landlords Know This Law Is Coming… Are You One of Them

The UK rental market has shifted more in the past 12 months than most landlords realise and the data behind it is eye-opening.

In this episode, Andy, Cindy and Ian sit down to break down everything that’s changed over the last year, from stamp duty and the UK budget to the growing impact of the Renters’ Rights Act. We cut through the headlines and focus on what the numbers are actually telling us about risk, opportunity and where the market is heading next.

We uncover the fact that 25% of all new lets in the UK are now being agreed through OpenRent, placing a huge proportion of landlords at risk without even realising it. Even more concerning, only 17% of landlords are fully aware of what the Renters’ Rights Act really means for their portfolios.

We also discuss why:

  • Q1 and Q2 could be a rare buying window for investors, with more choice and better pricing
  • Around 80% of properties coming to market are still selling, showing a steady housing market
  • Rents continue to rise at 3–4% year on year, with no real signs of slowing
  • The gap between informed and uninformed landlords is widening faster than ever

This is a calm, honest and practical conversation for landlords and investors who want to stay compliant, protect their investments and make smarter decisions for the year ahead without the usual noise and scare tactics.
