BREAKING NEWS FOR SHEPPERTON LANDLORDS - New Renters Law Delayed

BREAKING NEWS FOR SHEPPERTON LANDLORDS - New Renters Law Delayed

Yesterday, the government reversed its decision to release the much-anticipated Renters Reform Bill this week, according to The Mirror newspaper

The delay in introducing the Bill to Parliament is attributed to "procedural issues."

The Conservative administration initially promised the Bill in 2019, and Housing Secretary Michael Gove recently stated that it would finally be published this week, shortly after the Coronation.

However, The Mirror reported yesterday that the government has postponed the long-awaited overhaul due to "procedural issues," despite pledging to publish the Renters Reform Bill this week, more than four years after the Conservatives initially vowed to eliminate no-fault evictions.

Speculation over the Bank Holiday weekend suggested that Tory backbenchers were dissatisfied with the proposed legislation, which they perceived as favouring tenants and being unfavourable to landlords.

A spokesperson from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities emphasised their unwavering dedication to providing renters with a fairer deal.

They assure that legislation, which will include a ban on "no-fault" evictions, will be introduced very soon.

This aims to enhance tenants' security in their homes and empower them to challenge substandard conditions.

Additionally, they plan to establish a Decent Homes Standard for the Private Rented Sector for the first time, ensuring that privately rented properties are safe and habitable.

Of course, when the government decide what it is doing, we will let know.

When you look back at the average rents achieved in Shepperton over the last five years, from 2021 through to 2025, a clear pattern emerges. Shepperton saw extraordinary growth in rents as the market experienced a period of exceptional pressure post pandemic, yet in the last 12 months, is now settling into something far more measured.

As we hit the third week of December, the Shepperton property market does slow down ready for the big day. It’s at this time of year, I like to work out the total value of every home in Shepperton, and how that value has changed since 2010 (as that was the bottom of the market after the Credit Crunch).

With ongoing reforms and rising compliance demands across the UK, managing a rental property alone is becoming increasingly complex. Here’s why professional management now matters more than ever.

The Chancellor’s Autumn Budget has finally arrived after months of rumour, leaked ideas and speculation. Many households in Shepperton had braced themselves for a sweeping new annual tax on homes above £500,000. That proposal has now been dropped, which removes the biggest cloud that had been hanging over the local market.
