Important Insights on the Renters’ Rights Bill – Exclusive Video with Suzanne Smith & Christopher Watkin

With the Renters’ Rights Bill bringing significant changes to the rental market later in 2025, many Bolton landlords are understandably concerned about how it will impact their properties and long-term plans.

That’s why I wanted to share exclusive access to a must-watch discussion featuring Suzanne Smith, a landlord, lawyer, and the creator of The Independent Landlord Blog, as she sits down with well-known property market journalist Christopher Watkin to break down the key changes and what they mean for landlords like you.

In this video, Suzanne and Christopher cover:

✅ How the removal of Section 21 will impact regaining possession of your property
✅ New restrictions around re-letting and selling with vacant possession
✅ The increased power of tenants through Rent Repayment Orders
✅ Rent increase rules – what’s changing and how to adapt
✅ The introduction of a landlord database – what it means for privacy and compliance
✅ The future of student lets and HMO

With these changes, it’s more important than ever to stay informed and work with a letting agent who understands the evolving legislation. This is a rare opportunity to hear from a lawyer (and landlord) who truly understands the legal and practical implications of the Bill.

Big changes are coming to the rental market. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 takes effect from 27 December 2025, marking the start of major reforms for tenants, landlords, and agents — from new investigation powers to the end of “no-fault” evictions.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

If you’re planning to buy a home soon, you might assume the best place to start is on the property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. But the truth is, the savviest buyers are seeing homes long before they ever appear online. Here’s why registering with an agent puts you one step ahead.

Being a landlord in 2025 comes with fresh challenges, from shifting regulations to changing tenant expectations. Whether you’re experienced or new to lettings, this checklist will help you stay compliant, competitive, and confident in the year ahead.
