The landlord sell-off is slowing down. For the first time in years, more investors are buying than selling.

Why? The Renters' Rights Act has made selling a bigger decision - and many landlords are choosing to hold instead.

Meanwhile, rents keep climbing, proof that demand for good rental homes isn't going anywhere.

What's your take on the changing rental market? 👇

Landlords, we've got your back.

When applying for a rental property, you will need to provide proof of identity, such as a passport or driver's licence, along with proof of address, which can include recent utility bills or bank statements. You’ll also need proof of income, typically recent payslips, an employment contract, or tax returns if self-employed. A reference from a previous landlord may be required, if applicable, and under UK law, a Right to Rent check is mandatory to confirm your eligibility to rent in the country.

The recent wave of landlords selling their properties appears to be slowing, with more investors now buying than selling for the first time in several years.

Changes introduced by the Renters' Rights Act have made selling a more complex decision, encouraging many landlords to keep hold of their properties instead.

At the same time, rental prices continue to edge upwards, showing that demand for quality rental homes remains strong.

What are your thoughts on the latest changes to the rental market?

Landlords, we're here for you.

Every home has a heart, and more often than not, it's the kitchen. 🍳

The place where coffee gets made in comfortable silence. Where little ones climb up onto the counter "just to help." Where a house full of rooms somehow always ends up with everyone gathered in one.

We've rounded up some of our favourite kitchens from our current properties. Fair warning... You might just fall in love. 🤍

How confident are you that your lettings business is fully compliant? 🤔

If your answer is "pretty confident," this episode of The Viking Chats might change your mind.

Kristjan sits down with Paul Conway (founder of Yuno) to unpack why compliance in the PRS has become a moving target — licensing schemes, fire safety, Awaab's Law, MEES, the Renters' Rights Bill, and more.

The takeaway? What you don't know can cost you. The agencies that thrive won't be the biggest — they'll be the ones who stay ahead of it.

🎧 Essential listening for anyone in lettings or property management.

🏠 Decent Homes Standard: What Landlords Need to Know

The new Decent Homes Standard is coming, and it’s a big deal for landlords. It sets a single quality benchmark for both social and private rental homes.

Here’s the gist:
✅Safety first – serious hazards like fire, structural, or electrical risks must be fixed.
✅Kitchens & bathrooms – it’s now about condition, not age. A well-kept 20-year-old kitchen is fine; a poorly maintained new one isn’t.
✅Core services – plumbing, heating, electricity, and child-safe windows.
✅Energy & comfort – whole-home heating, insulation, and efficiency improvements are key. EPC rules are changing, so a C rating today might not cut it tomorrow.
✅Damp & mould – now a standalone requirement alongside recent renters’ rights laws.

💡 Why act early? Waiting could cost more and limit your finance options. Lenders are already factoring energy efficiency into mortgages, and demand for contractors will skyrocket as 2035 approaches.

💡 Start now: audit your properties against these five areas, prioritise safety, damp, and energy efficiency — and think of it as a portfolio plan, not just compliance.

How can we help you?

🏚️ Rental Horror Story

A landlord has been fined over £5,600 after leaving a tenant living with severe damp and mould, no hot water, a faulty boiler, electrical issues, and even a front door that wouldn’t lock.

Despite repeated complaints and an official improvement notice, many of the repairs were never carried out. The tenant’s health and wellbeing suffered as a result.

A reminder that rental properties aren’t just investments, they’re people’s homes. Keeping on top of maintenance isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal responsibility.

We genuinely care about both landlords and tenants. Our property management service is designed to spot issues early, keep properties well maintained, and make sure problems never get the chance to spiral.
