Rent Reviews - a Frontline Operational Issue for Letting Agents
The Renters’ Rights Act changes many things. But for letting agents, one of the most commercially important may prove to be this: rent reviews are no longer just an administrative step in the tenancy cycle. They are becoming a more visible, more structured and more contestable process.
That matters because rent reviews sit right at the intersection of landlord expectation, tenant affordability, legal compliance and agency execution.
Chunking Down the Renters’ Rights Act 2025
The significance of change being introduced under the Renters’ Rights Act is one of the biggest legislative shifts for landlords and letting agents.
There is a huge volume of change: new tenancy structures, the removal of Section 21, increased reliance on Section 8 and Section 13, updated forms, and new procedures. Attempting to absorb all of this at once is neither practical nor effective. This is where the concept of chunking becomes invaluable.
What is Chunking?
Chunking is a simple but highly effective approach to managing complex information. It involves breaking down large, complicated subjects into smaller, more manageable sections.
Government Housing Hub provides Guidance on PRS Reform
Reforms to the private rented sector in England are introducing a comprehensive framework of new rights and obligations for landlords, letting agents and tenants. These changes represent a significant shift in how residential tenancies are created, managed and brought to an end.
Landlords are central to the implementation of these changes, therefore, a thorough understanding of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 is essential to ensure legal compliance, minimise risk, and maintain professional standards across all aspects of property management.
GLM Charity Golf Day - 12th June 2026
This year our Charity Golf Day will be in support of the charity, Child Bereavement UK.
Child Bereavement UK helps families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. They also train professionals to help them better understand and meet the needs of grieving families.
This charity is close to our hearts due to a loss in January 2004 when Susie Crolla’s twin sister Lucy suddenly lost her husband Frank aged 41. This was a very difficult time for everyone, especially Lucy’s children Christian and Louisa who were aged 7 and 4 months old at the time.
