The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.
In May 2026, pricing strategy matters more than ever. With more homes on the market and buyers watching affordability closely, setting the right asking price can make all the difference to your next move.
May is a key month for sellers, but more homes are competing for attention. If you are thinking of moving this spring, here is how the current market is shaping buyer behaviour and what helps a home stand out.
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.
Today is the day, the sun is shining and the Renters’ Rights Act is now in force — but there’s no need to worry! My team here at GLP are fully up to speed and prepared for this change, we're here to guide you through exactly what this means! This morning there were some new guides released from the Gov...
The Renters Rights Act is now in force, and designed to make the process clearer and more transparent for tenants. Discover what these new rules mean for you and how to navigate your property search effectively.
If you’ve been following the property market over the past couple of years, you’d be forgiven for feeling slightly unsure about where things stand. I speak to sellers every day across London, and the same questions come up time and again: Is now the right time? Should I wait? Has the market slowed too much?
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.
