The Renters' Rights Bill has now completed the Committee Stage in the House of Lords following seven significant debates. With Royal Assent expected before Parliament’s summer recess (July 2025) and implementation anticipated from October 2025 onwards, this landmark legislation will significantly reshape the private rental sector.
Key reforms include the abolition of fixed-term tenancies, mandatory landlord registration, and stricter compliance rules for rent increases and possession. At Harry Charles, we are proactively preparing to support landlords, tenants, sellers, and buyers through every stage of this transition.
🔑 Key Updates at a Glance
📍 Where Are We Now?
-
Committee Stage Completed (19.05.25): All 339 proposed amendments were rejected. The bill progresses unchanged.

Add a splash of colour to the front of your property to instantly wow potential buyers. Think bold single colours like rich purples paired with leafy greens to create a vibrant, welcoming entrance.
Inside, it’s all about appealing to the senses. Nothing says “home” quite like the smell of freshly baked pastries—pop some in the oven just before viewings to create a warm, inviting aroma.
Remember, dressing your house for the occasion can work wonders when it comes to securing a sale. A few thoughtful touches can transform your space and help buyers picture themselves living there.
