Farnham has had a wonderful summer, and from our office at Gostrey House on Union Road we have had a front-row seat. 💙

The season brought the return of the Farnham Carnival in June, live music drifting across Gostrey Meadow on Sunday afternoons, and a busy programme up at Farnham Castle and the Maltings. It's a really lovely reminder of just how much life there is in this corner of Surrey.

There is plenty still to come, too. The Farnham Food Festival returns to Gostrey Meadow on 27 September, Farnham Craft Month runs throughout October, and before long the town will be turning its attention to the Christmas lights switch-on and the December market.

As we continue to grow our presence in Farnham, we are proud to call this town home and to be part of a community with this much going on. 🍃

The Autumn 2026 edition of our Employment eCite is now available.

This issue looks at the gap between what employers assume the law allows and what it actually requires, which is a recurring source of costly mistakes for even experienced HR teams.

Inside, we cover why a "discretionary" bonus can become a fixed entitlement once it has been approved, when expressing a view counts as a protected manifestation of belief, and why the circumstances behind alleged misconduct matter before dismissing without notice.

We also look at constructive knowledge in disability discrimination, the shift to digital payslips, the lessons of the Dobson case on indirect discrimination, and a new duty requiring employers to handle data protection complaints internally before they reach the ICO.

We finish with the consultations shaping carer's leave, "Hugh's Law", and the proposed extension of equal pay protections to race and disability.

The way commercial rent reviews work is set to change.

The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026 introduces a ban on upwards-only rent reviews, expected to come into force in early 2027. In practice, it removes the familiar "higher of" mechanism, which means that on review the rent could go down as well as up.

Open market, index-linked, multiplier-linked and turnover-based reviews will all be caught, while fixed or stepped increases will not. The Act also brings in anti-avoidance measures and, importantly, may already affect certain renewals and options entered into on or after 17 March 2026.

In her latest article, Gaye King explains what is changing, which leases are affected, and why both landlords and tenants may want to review their current arrangements now.

A lovely shoutout for Laura Inskip, Partner in our family law team.

A transfer of equity isn't just something that happens during a divorce.

It comes up more often than people expect: adding a partner to a mortgage, removing an ex-partner's name from a property, or restructuring ownership for tax or estate planning purposes.

Whatever the reason, the process still needs to be handled correctly. That means preparing the right documents, advising on stamp duty land tax, liaising with any mortgage lender involved, and registering the change with the Land Registry.

Our residential conveyancing team supports clients across Farnham, Reading, Wokingham and the surrounding areas of Berkshire and Surrey through every step of a transfer of equity.

Mental health-related absence fell by 17% in 2025. On its own, that looks like good news. The longer trend tells a more cautious story.

The latest ONS figures show mental health conditions accounted for 11.5% of all absence days in 2025, up from 9% in 2009. One year of improvement has not reversed a structural shift that has been building for 15 years.

At the same time, the Employment Rights Act 2025 has changed the cost of every episode. With statutory sick pay now payable from the first day of absence, short-term mental health absences that previously carried no SSP liability now create an immediate obligation for employers. Where a condition amounts to a disability, reasonable adjustment duties under the Equality Act 2010 apply on top.

The gender data adds another layer. Mental health was cited in 10.2% of female absence occurrences against 7.3% for men, a gap that may reflect under-reporting rather than a true difference in prevalence.

Our employment team has broken down what the figures mean for absence policies now.
