Being a landlord now comes with more responsibility than ever. With changes around the Renters’ Rights Act, Making Tax Digital, EPC requirements and the new Private Rented Sector Database, there is a lot to keep on top of. The good news is that getting organised now can make things much easier later.
Here are some of the key areas landlords should be reviewing.
Keep your compliance documents up to date
Gas Safety Certificates, Electrical Installation Condition Reports and Energy Performance Certificates all need to be current and easy to access. It is also important to keep clear records showing when documents were issued, when they expire and when copies were provided to tenants. Good record keeping is becoming increasingly important, particularly where compliance can affect the action a landlord is able to take during a tenancy.

Choosing the right asking price is one of the biggest decisions you will make when selling your home. At Richard Kendall Estate Agent, we know that everything that follows from photography and marketing to viewings and negotiations is influenced by that first figure. Price your home correctly from the outset and you give yourself the best chance of attracting strong interest from serious buyers.
Overpricing can cost you time
Rightmove’s May 2026 House Price Index showed a clear difference between homes that were priced correctly and those that later needed a reduction. Properties that sold without a price reduction found a buyer in an average of 36 days. Those that needed at least one reduction took an average of 127 days. That is around three extra months on the market. For sellers with an onward purchase in mind, that delay can make a real difference.
