Propertymark has responded to the Welsh Government’s Draft Budget for 2026–27 with a warning that without tax reform, the continued loss of landlords will deepen affordability issues for tenants and increase pressure on local authorities to house more people in the social sector. A vibrant private rented sector (PRS), alongside investment in social and affordable housing, is essential to meet demand and ensure all people in Wales have access to decent and secure homes.
Stage 3 proceedings for the Housing (Scotland) Bill began on 23 September 2025 in the Scottish Parliament. MSPs are considering around 400 amendments over two days before holding a final vote on whether the Bill should become law. This marks the last opportunity to shape one of the most significant reforms to renting in Scotland since the introduction of the Private Residential Tenancy.
The long-anticipated Renters Reform Bill is due to land this year, and with it comes one of the most significant shifts in the UK rental market in decades: the abolition of Section 21 'no-fault' evictions. Once this change takes effect, landlords and letting agents will no longer be able to regain possession of their property without specific grounds. Propertymark Industry Supplier, Inventory Hive, explains why this will make robust documentation more important than ever.
The latest statistics from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) reveal that supply in England continues to lag demand, with new build activity well below the level needed to reach the UK Government target of 300,000 additional homes per year.
