Why get a valuation now
Private letting in England changed on 1 May 2026, when the Renters' Rights Act came into force. Tenancies no longer have a fixed end date, section 21 "no-fault" notices have ended, and rent can only be increased once a year using a formal notice. From 15 December 2026, landlords also start registering their properties on a new national database.
That makes it more important to set the right rent at the start of a tenancy and to have an agent who knows the new rules. A free valuation tells you what your property is worth on today's market, and gives you the chance to ask Stirling Ackroyd how it handles rent reviews, tenancy paperwork and compliance under the new system.
