Now that the government has confirmed the key implementation dates for the Renters’ Rights Act, we’ve updated our Guide for Advisers with the timeline. Download now>>
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has been designed to transform the experience of private renting and to improve the current system for both the 11 million private renters and 2.3 million landlords in England.
We’ve created a practical guide to help landlords understand what’s changing and how to prepare.
Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) form a vital part of the private rented sector, often providing more affordable accommodation for people whose housing options are limited.
However, as HMOs are more complex than standard buy-to-let properties, it is important to understand the planning and licensing requirements that apply so we’ve put together this short guide which provides an overview of what’s involved and how Fleet Mortgages can help.
Our buy-to-let mortgages are available exclusively through our network of registered brokers. Visit Unbiased to find a qualified broker.
