A few weeks ago, we published our guide on preparing for the Renters' Rights Act ahead of the 1 May 2026 deadline. Since then, we have been speaking to landlords across the region every day — and the honest truth is that many are further behind than they realise.

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.

At Harrisons Lettings and Management we wanted to make our landlords aware of our Rent Protection & Legal Expenses cover, which many landlords are now choosing as their preferred management option.

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.
