Regulations Have Changed. Have You?

New EPC standards

New Section 21 rules

New fire safety requirements

If you’re not fully up to speed, you could be one step away from a fine or worse — a criminal offence.

The regulatory landscape for landlords is shifting quickly. What was compliant last year may no longer meet today’s legal standards. And not knowing the rules won’t protect you from the consequences.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Legislation is tightening around energy efficiency. Properties with low energy ratings may soon become unlettable, with minimum requirements expected to rise. If your property falls short, enforcement action could follow, or you could lose the ability to legally let.

Section 21 Reforms

Revisions to Section 21 are changing how landlords can regain possession of their properties. What was once a straightforward process now requires more documentation, timing, and legal awareness. A single mistake could leave you unable to act when you need to most.

Fire and Building Safety

Safety standards are evolving. Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire doors, and HMO licensing now come with stricter rules. Non-compliance doesn't just carry fines. It can lead to criminal prosecution and serious liability if something goes wrong.
