Private landlords - Register your rental property’ service 🏠

Big changes are coming for landlords and tenants in England.

From December 2026, a new mandatory landlord registration system will begin rolling out across England, helping councils tackle rogue landlords, improving transparency, and giving tenants greater confidence when renting.

The reforms will also introduce a faster route for challenging rent increases, with HMRC's Valuation Office set to take on rent determination responsibilities in future.

Key points for landlords:

• Registration becomes a legal requirement.

• Non-compliance could result in fines.

• Rollout starts in the West Midlands on 15 December 2026.

• All actively let properties must be registered by November 2027.

A significant step towards a more transparent, accountable and fair private rental sector for both landlords and tenants.

Just getting ready for the colder days, longer nights and the next Budget, I stumbled across a story that made me smile 🦔

Future Bank of England banknotes will feature British wildlife, including the hedgehog, barn owl, puffin and bumblebee.

A nice reminder that even the things we use every day can celebrate the natural world around us.

A slightly heavier topic for a Friday.

HMRC has proposed a new criminal offence for making reckless untrue statements in tax returns. Critics argue it risks blurring the line between deliberate fraud and genuine mistakes in an already complex tax system.

Tackling tax evasion is essential, but any changes need to distinguish between fraud, carelessness and reasonable differences in interpretation. The tax system works best when it encourages openness rather than fear of getting things wrong.

It will be interesting to see whether HMRC takes the proposal any further following the consultation feedback.
