➡ Rayner – who received £20,000 for a two hour contribution to an event staged over the summer by agents’ trade body Propertymark – made the comments at the Labour conference.

She told delegates that unregulated agents are “mishandling their money with no transparency or accountability”.

Her comments follow an announcement by her department, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), that it intends to introduce independent regulation of property agents.

The announcement says: “A regulator can set codes of practice, such as standards of conduct and proper complaint handling for those they regulate.

“Property agents will be required to obtain a license to do the job, as well as appropriate qualifications to operate. If they fall foul of the required standards, the regulator would have the power to take their licenses away.

“These measures will fundamentally rewire homeownership, whilst supporting over five million existing leaseholders and future homeowners, who will benefit from stronger control, powers and protections.

“The government is committed to bringing forward these changes as soon as possible and will set out more information in due course.”

➡ Quick-buy brand House Buyer Bureau analysed the latest data from TwentyCi on the estimated volume of residential fall-throughs in the second quarter of 2026, along with the average cost of a failed transaction.

The number of property fall-throughs increased by almost 7%.

The analysis shows that an estimated 71,959 property transactions collapsed during the second quarter of the year, up 6.6% on the previous quarter.

Despite this quarterly increase, fall-through volumes remain 8.7% lower than this time last year.

As a result of the quarterly increase in the number of failed transactions, the estimated total cost of fall-throughs to the housing market climbed from £239.7million in the first three months of 2026 to £257.9million in the second quarter of 2026. It is an increase of more than £18 million.

While the frequency of fall-throughs increased, the estimated average cost incurred by sellers also edged higher.

➡ Transaction fall-throughs across the UK increased 6.6% during the second quarter of 2026.

The data comes from TwentyCi while House Buyer Bureau calculated the costs of the fall-throughs to the housing market in terms of abortive expenditure.

The analysis shows that an estimated 71,959 property transactions collapsed during the second quarter of the year, up 6.6% on the previous quarter. Despite this quarterly increase, fall-through volumes remain -8.7% lower than during Q2 2025.

As a result of the quarterly increase in the number of failed transactions, the estimated total cost of fall-throughs to the UK housing market climbed from £239.7m in Q1 2026 to £257.9m in Q2 2026, an increase of more than £18m.

➡ Pricing remains key to achieving a sale as mortgage rates rise, according to Rightmove. It follows a 0.7% rise in average newly-listed asking prices (+£2,441) in September to £367,440, the first monthly price increase since May and above the ten-year September average of 0.5%, according to Rightmove’s latest house price index.

However, prices are 0.8% below the same time last year and 2.3% below the start of summer. Colleen Babcock, property expert at Rightmove, warned that the figures need to be taken in context.

“September’s above-average price rise is a welcome sign of confidence after a particularly subdued summer, but it should be viewed as a modest recovery rather than a major turning point,” she said.

Rightmove reported that buying activity has also risen since August, although the number of those enquiring remains 9% lower than the same time last year.

Stock availability is still at a 12-year high. However, the number of newly-listed properties for sale is flat month on month and 3% down on this time last year, while sales agreed are 9% lower annually.

Rightmove’s figures show it takes an average of 64 days to find a buyer, followed by a further 150 days on average to complete, meaning unless sellers are able to beat these averages, they won’t move until after next Easter.

➡ A new analysis shows that four months into the Renters Rights Act, its unintended consequences are now becoming clear.

New data from The Lettings Hub reveals a shift in landlord and tenant behaviour that many in the industry predicted during the Act’s passage through Parliament – but which MPs ignored.

Some 80% of letting agents report that landlords are being more cautious when selecting tenants.

The survey authors say this is not driven by reduced profitability, but by a loss of confidence in the eviction process.

With 95% of letting agents say they lack confidence in the courts under the new regime.
Agents also identified court delays as their biggest concern, while they noted landlords’ primary worry has been the removal of Section 21.

Beth Richardson, Head of Operations at The Lettings Hub, says: “Landlords are right to feel they need to be more careful, but excessive caution risks shrinking the supply of homes exactly when tenants need them most.”

➡ New Ministry of Justice Tribunal hearings reveal a huge rise in cases relating to property.

Most of these are likely to involve private rental sector disputes, or those involving leasehold homes.

There were no fewer than 15,929 cases heard in the year to the end of June 2026.

This is 24% more than in the previous year.

Covering rent cases, leasehold enfranchisement claims, leasehold disputes, Housing Act 2004 cases and park homes, the figures provide an early indication of rising levels of conflict in the lead-up to, and immediate aftermath of, the Renters Rights Act reforms.

In response, Lucian Cook – head of residential research at Savills – comments: “As the Renters Rights Act beds in, we’d expect to see the number of cases referred to Tribunal rise exponentially, particularly in respect of rent reviews.

“Both buy-to-let landlords and the government will have a keen eye on the capacity to process these cases.

“Landlords will be particularly concerned to see if this results in a delay in the ability to charge a reviewed market rent. Meanwhile, the government will be concerned with both the cost of administration and the need for any tweaks in the regulations.”

➡ The landlord was responsible for the management of a HMO that accommodated five people, but did not have a licence, which is a statutory requirement.

The council used its powers under the Housing Act 2004 to issue civil penalty notices against the landlord totalling £35,000.

This included a £10,000 penalty for operating a HMO without a licence and a £25,000 penalty for breaches of HMO Management Regulations.

A council spokesperson says: “We’re pushing for tighter planning controls on the licensing of HMOs, while ensuring licensed landlords are held to account. In this case, the landlord was given every opportunity to apply for the statutory licence but failed to do so. We were left no option but to take firm enforcement action.

“We hope the result of this case demonstrates our commitment to delivering higher housing standards and protecting residents from rogue HMO landlords.

“The recent adoption of our Housing Enforcement Policy and Civil Financial Penalty Policy provides a clear framework for holding negligent landlords to account and ensuring tenants are living in safe, well-managed accommodation.

“Most landlords provide good-quality homes and comply with their legal responsibilities, but where standards fall short, we will not hesitate to use the full range of enforcement powers available to us.”

➡ Low deposit lending (of less than 10% of a property’s value) increased by more than a third (38%) to £24.7bn in the year to 30 June 2026, up from £17.9bn the previous year, according to analysis by TWM Solicitors.

Of that, the number of new mortgages with a deposit of less than 5% doubled to £1.5bn, up from £720m (a 100.4% increase).

The shift comes as the cost-of-living crisis continues to add pressure to those trying to save for a deposit, and as lenders widen their ranges to include more low-deposit products.

Julian Sampson, partner and head of lending at TWM Solicitors, said: “After several years in which higher interest rates and rising living costs made it increasingly difficult for first-time buyers to save a meaningful deposit, we’re now seeing lenders respond with a much broader range of low-deposit products.”

The FCA recently launched a consultation on changes to help first-time buyers and other unserved borrowers access mortgages more easily and Sampson said lenders had responded by creating more innovative mortgage products.

“Many buyers who previously found themselves excluded from the market now have more routes into home ownership than they would have had just a few years ago,” he said.

➡ An industry expert is warning landlords not to misinterpret or underestimate their liability as a consequence of the Renters Rights Act.

Paul Endacott of the 1st Avenue agency says that a common assumption among landlords is that appointing a letting agent transfers responsibility for compliance.

But he warns: ”Your letting agent can get your Right to Rent checks wrong, and you can still be the one facing the fine, because the responsibility starts with you, the landlord. This is not just Right to Rent; it’s the new rules.”

The warning comes as landlords face increasing legal obligations across areas including tenancy management, licensing requirements and property standards, as well as Right to Rent.
