Renters’ Rights Bill - Consideration of Commons amendments - HOL -14th October 2025
There we have it. The expectations may have been high, and the outcome disappointing, but the ‘Ping Pong’ stage of the Renters’ Rights Bill will not last very long, in fact, the likelihood is that the Bill will not find it’s way back to the House of Lords again.
The proposed amendments, some of which were extremely significant - restrictions on advanced rent payments, some protection for landlords who consent to tenants having a pet, the quality of rented property for MOD personnel, preventing relet for a 12 month period under Ground 1A should a rented property fail to sell - and some relevant points were put forward in favour, but did not have a significant impact on the Bill.
UK Landlords Prepare for the Renters’ Rights Bill
UK landlords can prepare for the Renters’ Rights Bill with a free training series at the UK’s largest property exhibition on 29 October in London
The National Landlord Investment Show has announced a free, in-person landlord training series designed to help landlords and property professionals prepare for the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, soon to be an Act. The training will take place in person on 29 October 2025 at Old Billingsgate, London, as part of the UK’s largest property exhibition, which is free to attend with registration required.
With the Renters’ Rights Bill due to be reviewed in the House of Lords on 14th October for the final stages of “ping pong” on amendments, the Bill is moving closer to becoming an Act. It’s certain that preparation is now more crucial than ever, as the Renters’ Rights Act is set to become an imminent reality for the UK private rented sector.
The training will be a three-part series taking place across the event, led by property industry experts with an in-depth focus on the new assured tenancy system, the changes to evictions, and new landlord obligations and penalties. Landlords will leave the training series with practical tips for preparation and implementation
Breaking News - Government announces Major Home Buying Overhaul
PRESS RELEASE
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and The Rt Hon Steve Reed OBE MP
Hundreds of thousands of first-time buyers are set to save £710 on average when buying a home, along with vital time and energy, thanks to the biggest shakeup to the homebuying system in this country’s history.
Proposals unveiled by the government on Monday 6 October will speed up the long-drawn out and costly process of buying a home by four weeks, saving people money and unnecessary stress, alongside wider reforms to rewire a chaotic system which has become a barrier to homeownership.
It will see sellers and estate agents required under the plans to provide buyers with vital information about a property upfront, including the condition of the home, leasehold costs, and chains of people waiting to move. This will help end nasty surprises which result in last-minute collapses and give greater confidence to first-time buyers making one of life’s most important decisions.
The Beauty of Picking up the Phone
In a world of emails, texts, WhatsApp messages, and video chat, the art of speaking confidently on the phone is fading.
Gone are the days of dialling 123 for the time, 100 when you had forgotten a friend’s number or rustling through your purse to make sure you had enough change for the phone box! Today, with so many communication tools at our disposal that make it quick and easy for us to connect through a few clicks and the holding of buttons, it’s no surprise we are losing the art of conversation.
For your business and even personal life, communication is key, and sometimes it takes more than just a text or an email.
