As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.
After years of anticipation, the Renters’ Rights Act (RRA) comes into force on 1 May 2026. While headlines have often painted a dramatic picture, the practical reality for professional, compliant landlords is far more measured.
With global uncertainty continuing to influence the property market, many sellers are asking the same question: Is now the right time to sell? The answer is yes—but success in today’s market depends on understanding how buyer behaviour has changed.

This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, combining two trusted names in the property industry to deliver an even stronger, more comprehensive service for our clients.
April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.
April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.
For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.
If you are thinking about moving in the next 6 to 12 months, a market appraisal is often the best first step. It gives you a clearer view of value, timing and buyer demand, helping you plan with more confidence in a competitive 2026 market.
We’re proud to share some fantastic news — recent Rightmove data shows that Mannleys Sales & Lettings is the top-performing single office estate agent in Telford when it comes to sales agreed.
The government has released an official Information Sheet that landlords and letting agents are now required to provide to tenants under the forthcoming Renters’ Rights Act. This document forms part of a broader effort to improve transparency and ensure tenants fully understand how the new legislation affects their tenancy.
