Lauren King, Of Counsel Knowledge Lawyer in our Property Litigation team, is joined by Lucian Cook, Head of Residential Research at Savills and one of the UK’s leading housing market commentators, to explore the impact of the newly enacted Renters’ Rights Act 2025 on the private rented sector.
Lucian shares his thoughts on the impact on rental levels as a consequence of the changes to the rent increase procedure, the increased regulatory burden on landlords and the impact of this on certain categories of landlords, the impact of the Act on the residential lettings market to date and in the future, the country's housing supply issues and the potential role of the build to rent sector, and the impact of the Act more generally on landlord and tenant relationships in the future.
