Our response to the London Assembly Housing Committee’s call for evidence highlights that the success of rental reform in London will depend not only on legislative change, but on whether court capacity, enforcement structures, and market realities are aligned to support it, a position that was echoed by a panel of industry experts in a live evidence session in City Hall on 9 February 2026.
Jersey’s States Assembly has passed regulations establishing a statutory fire safety regime on the island. The new legislation responds to lessons from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 to modernise ongoing fire safety management in high-rise homes as well as protect residents and emergency responders. Further guidance is expected from the Assembly before implementation.
The Department for the Economy (DfE) is consulting on reforms which, if progressed, will shape how tourist accommodation is defined and regulated for years to come. For agents involved in short-term lets, clarity on categories and criteria will be critical to ensure compliance without disrupting business models, and any final regulations must recognise the role of professional agents, reflect the realities of the market, and strike the right balance between consumer protection and practical delivery.
Experts Brian Moran, Advisory Panel Member (Scotland) and Angela Davey, Advisory Panel Member and Regional Executive (Wales), who have first hand experience of similar reforms to the Renters’ Rights Act, shared practical lessons in our webinar with a core message of reassurance. Practical lessons on how Scotland and Wales have managed, on what does and doesn’t work, and where agents should focus their efforts now were imparted, as well as emphasising how essential early preparation, good communication, and robust processes are, so that letting agents can continue to support landlords and tenants while adapting to the new regulatory landscape.
