April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.

May has always been one of the busiest periods in the property market, and this year buyers are still actively looking. The difference in 2026 is that they now have far more choice and that is changing how homes are being judged. For sellers, presentation, pricing and strategy matter more than ever.

In today’s market, pricing a home correctly from the outset has become one of the most important parts of a successful sale. With buyers facing higher borrowing costs and significantly more choice, the asking price is no longer simply a figure attached to a property, it is a key part of the marketing strategy itself.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.
