Being a landlord in 2025 comes with fresh challenges, from shifting regulations to changing tenant expectations. Whether youโ€™re experienced or new to lettings, this checklist will help you stay compliant, competitive, and confident in the year ahead.

With plans announced to raise the council tax surcharge on higher-value homes, this snapshot looks at how many ยฃ2m-plus properties have actually sold across the UK this year.
