🚨 The Renters Rights Act (RRA) is coming, and it’s the biggest reform to the private rented sector in a generation.

From 1 May 2026, all new and existing ASTs will convert to Assured Periodic Tenancies, Section 21 will be abolished, rent increases will be restricted, rental bidding will be banned, and new information duties will apply.

If you’re a landlord, agent, or buyer of tenanted property, now is the time to review your tenancy agreements, rent review clauses, and possession strategies.

Moving home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make, and the legal work behind the scenes is far more complex than many realise.

A conveyancing solicitor manages every stage of the legal process, including:

Investigating the property title and raising enquiries
Reviewing and negotiating the contract
Coordinating with mortgage lenders
Ensuring all legal documents are properly executed
Registering new ownership with HM Land Registry

These steps protect buyers and sellers, reduce risk, and keep transactions moving smoothly.
