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.

At Fleet, we are committed to supporting the UK’s transition to a more sustainable future and improving the energy efficiency of the country’s private rental sector properties, with the obvious benefits this will provide, particularly for tenants.
That’s why we offer landlords £1,000 cashback when they improve their property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to a rating of C or above during the course of the initial fixed rate period for mortgages that completed on or after July 2023. This cashback offer is only available on our five- and seven-year fixed rate products (excluding our EPC A-C product range).
If you think you may be eligible to claim £1,000 cashback, we’ve created a step-by-step guide on how to make a claim. Download guide>>
