COMPLIANCE

The Renters’ Rights Act is already in force

Section 21 ended on 1 May 2026, and every assured shorthold tenancy in England converted to an assured periodic tenancy on the same day. If you have not reviewed your tenancies since, you may already be exposed.

No-fault evictions have gone

The last valid Section 21 notice could be served on 30 April 2026. Regaining possession now means using the revised Section 8 grounds, with evidence that stands up.

Fixed terms no longer exist

Existing tenancies became periodic automatically. Rent can be raised once a year, on two months’ notice, using the prescribed form. Informal rent reviews no longer hold.

Landlord registration is next

The Private Rented Sector Database begins rolling out from late 2026, with registration becoming mandatory. A Landlord Ombudsman follows in 2028.

Landlords were also required to give existing tenants the Government information sheet by 31 May 2026, with civil penalties of up to £7,000 for non-compliance. If you are unsure whether that was done, ask us.

What could my property let for?

Your postcode, and a real figure from what we are letting in your area right now — with the actual comparables it came from. No name, no email. The number comes first.

      Reviews are published by our customers on Google and are not edited by us.

      Marketing and photography, accompanied viewings, tenant referencing and right-to-rent checks, the tenancy agreement, deposit registration, rent collection, and ongoing maintenance and compliance. One point of contact handles all of it.

      Fees depend on the level of service you choose and on the property itself, so we give you a written quote after a free valuation rather than publishing a flat rate. Ask us for a full breakdown before you commit.

      It depends on price, condition and time of year, and we will give you an honest view at valuation. We often have suitable applicants already registered across Ashford, Egham and Feltham before a property goes live.

      Yes. We work with employers relocating staff into the Heathrow corridor, placing company-backed tenants with fast turnarounds and the paperwork handled centrally. Full details are on our dedicated corporate relocation site: sjscorporate.co.uk.

      Gas safety, EPC, electrical checks, deposit protection and right-to-rent all sit with you as the landlord. On a managed tenancy we track the renewal dates and arrange the certificates so nothing lapses.
