Week of 2026-06-08 – 2026-06-14

This week's stories

Government

Bizarre Ban on Landlords to Be Scrapped by Ambitious Green Party

The Green Party has announced plans to abolish a controversial proposal regarding landlords, aimed at promoting a more inclusive rental market. According to the Financial Times, this move reflects a broader push for housing reforms within the party's agenda. Any such changes remain proposals only and are not law. Landlords should also note that fixed-term ASTs have already been abolished — all tenancies are periodic from 1 May 2026.

Landlord impact: These are proposals only and not yet law, so landlords should not assume any change to current requirements.

Interest Rates

Best Rates for Good-EPC Properties in New Buy-to-Let Loan Range

In a welcome development for landlords, Paragon Bank has cut rates by 20bps across its buy-to-let mortgage range for properties with high energy performance certificates (EPCs). This move comes as part of a refreshed fee structure aimed at encouraging investment in energy-efficient homes.

Landlord impact: Lower mortgage rates for efficient properties can enhance profitability for landlords focusing on sustainability.

Market Trends

Increased Pressure on HMOs Sparks Council Concerns

Local councils are expressing concerns about the impact of existing regulations on Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and are discussing potential extensions to Article 4 Directions, although no new regulations have been implemented yet.

Landlord impact: Landlords with HMOs may face stricter regulations, impacting rental listings and potential income.

Legal & Regulatory

Renters' Rights Act Compliance Failures Risk Fines of up to £40,000

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 is already in force, and landlords who fail to meet its existing requirements risk civil penalties of up to £40,000. There is no separate new rule pending or "taking effect on 23 June" — the duties apply now, so landlords should review their compliance immediately.

Landlord impact: Landlords should review their compliance measures immediately to avoid potential fines.

Tenant Rights

Landlord Possession Claims Rise Under the Renters' Rights Act

Landlord possession claims have surged as property owners adjust to the Renters' Rights Act, which abolished Section 21 evictions on 1 May 2026. Landlords must now rely on Section 8 grounds for all new tenancies, though Section 21 notices validly served before that date remain valid through the transition period.

Landlord impact: Landlords will need to adjust their strategies for managing tenancy agreements in light of the new eviction rules.
