An established estate agency group has pledged to support private landlords as a long-term partner as they navigate a series of legislative changes affecting the private rented sector, positioning itself as a source of guidance and continuity during a period of regulatory reform.
Parkers has held a landlord and property investor event, with more than 200 registrations and over 120 attendees.
The event was organised in six weeks in response to landlord concerns about the proposed Renters’ Rights reforms and other legislative changes. Attendance suggests continued demand for information on how these developments may affect compliance and investment decisions.
Simon West, director at Parkers, said landlords need to understand the changes and the steps required to prepare. He added that the event aimed to provide clear guidance on the implications of the reforms.
He commented: “With some of the most significant changes to the lettings sector in the past 30 years now on the horizon, it is absolutely essential that landlords fully understand what is happening, how these changes will impact them, and the practical steps they need to take to prepare.
“There is understandably a degree of uncertainty in the market, but events like this are about cutting through that uncertainty and providing clear, straightforward guidance, ensuring landlords feel informed, confident, and equipped to make the right decisions for their portfolios. Our role is to support them every step of the way, particularly during periods of such substantial regulatory change.”
The event was delivered by two Parkers franchisees from its 11-branch network, bringing together landlords and property investors from across their areas.
Toby Phillips, group managing director of Parkers, added: “Our priority is, and always has been, to support our customers by providing clear, reliable guidance, particularly during times of change. With the Renters’ Rights Act coming into effect from 1 May, we recognise that many landlords are seeking reassurance and practical advice on how best to respond.
“The feedback from the event has been extremely positive. Attendees benefited from a range of expert speakers, each offering valuable insights into different aspects of the evolving lettings landscape. Importantly, landlords left with a clearer understanding of what lies ahead and the confidence that they are not navigating these changes alone.
“We want landlords to know that we are here as a long-term partner, offering not just advice, but proactive support and tailored solutions to help them adapt, remain compliant, and continue to succeed in an increasingly complex market.”
