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.

Welcome to this month’s property market update from Mannleys Sales & Lettings. Here’s a roundup of where things stand right now — and what to keep an eye on in the coming months.

The King’s Speech has set out a fresh wave of proposed housing reforms, with changes expected to affect leasehold property, building safety, social housing, local authority powers and the wider property market.

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.
