From 1 May 2026, the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act will come into force across England, introducing significant changes to how rents can be increased in the private rented sector. For landlords, the key change is that rent increases will become more regulated and must follow a formal legal process.

Rental demand remains resilient in early 2026, but growth has moderated. For landlords, spring is less about reacting and more about refining strategy.

More households are reassessing space in early 2026. If your home feels tighter than it once did, this spring may offer the right conditions to move up.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Phase 2 at Lime Grove, Bardney, with the first homes now available to reserve. This next phase introduces a collection of well-designed three and four bedroom detached homes, continuing the development’s focus on practical layouts, modern living and the opportunity for buyers to personalise their home.
