🏠 It rolls out region by region, starting in the West Midlands on 15 December 2026
📅The London region will only roll out in the 3rd/4th quarter of 2027
📅 You'll have three months from your region's start date to register
💷 It looks like it'll cost £65 per property, per year (much higher than originally announced)
📋 As part of the registration, you'll need to upload your gas, electrical and EPC certificates

More to follow.

If renting out your UK home feels more complicated than it used to, you aren't imagining it - lettings in the UK have become more complicated. Between the Renters' Rights Act, evolving tax rules and changing market conditions, landlords are managing more moving parts than ever before. And if you're an expat landlord with the added complication of a time zone, navigating the process is even tricker.

You're allowed to find it hard - most landlords do, even those living in the same country as their rental property. What helps isn't trying to become an expert overnight, it's having somewhere reliable to turn, when things change. That's what our expert advice offers: monthly updates for every stage in your landlord journey, wherever you currently call home.

We cover everything from changing regulations, to whether you should let out your property furnished or unfurnished, to landlord laws on EPCs. Sign up to our newsletter here: https://swift.property/newsletter/

💬 "I want a family house" is a dream.

"I want £100,000 in equity from my rental flat to buy a bigger family house in three years’ time" is a goal.

Before you decide whether to buy, sell or keep letting a property, get clear on the goal behind it. A good property goal is meaningful (it states your big ‘why’), specific (numbers, not vague wishes) and timed (a deadline changes the whole plan).

What’s yours - income, growth, or both?

The Renters’ Rights Act, tax changes, market jitters and 140+ landlord laws make renting out property tougher than ever. Sign up to our monthly newsletter for practical advice at every stage of your landlord journey. Click the link below to sign up: 👇👇

🐍 True story: one of our more unusual callouts over the years involved rescuing a pet python!

Have you ever booked a cab for a python? Daniel once needed to book a taxi for a pet python after a leak shorted an Earls Court flat’s electricity – and the snake’s temperature-controlled terrarium.

In true "Murphy's Law" style, this happened the day before Christmas Eve, when the python's owner spotted water cascading down his walls as he left for the airport. Three hours, 19 phone calls and one bashed-down door later, Daniel finally traced the source of the leak to a failed shower connector four floors up!

The bills? £50,000 – which might have been even higher if Daniel hadn’t responded so quickly. The empty third-floor flat, however, suffered extensive floor damage because its selling agent couldn’t be bothered to unlock it for the inch-deep water to be mopped up.

Although the block's buildings insurer paid out most of the damage, the premiums - and therefor the service charges for all the owners shot up. Prompt repairs do pay off.

Owning a rental from thousands of miles away means trusting someone to handle whatever comes up - and this is what "we've got it covered" means to us.

Moving abroad and thinking about letting out your home?

A few things can trip people up early on:

🏡 - Most mortgage lenders require "consent to let" before you leave - skip this and they can call in your loan.
🏡 - If you switch to a buy-to-let mortgage you'll need at least 25% equity and rent that's 125%-145% higher than the mortgage payment.
🏡 - Standard home insurance is usually invalidated the moment you start letting, so landlord buildings cover becomes essential, not optional.

With 16 years in the property management business, we share hints and tips like these in our monthly newsletter - a perfect resource for landlords living abroad.
