This month we're busy welcoming new tenants into the first phase of the stunning new Uptown development in Manchester. You can read more about Uptown over on our blog https://lnkd.in/dUxWX-hx 👉 AND THERE'S MORE TO COME! Uptown encompasses three buildings - Element, Enigma and Graphene ... named as a homage to Manchester's significant contributions to science and technology in each of these areas. ⚡️ Graphene now completed - 36 stunning apartments within this block. ⚡️ Enigma will be launching soon with another 52 apartments within the building. ⚡️ Element is the final stage which will complete this fantastic trio of innovative apartment blocks within the scheme. There will be 68 apartments within this final phase. So what does Sadie Brown, one of our New Business Executives, think of our letting experience of Uptown so far? "This is honestly one of the most exciting developments we've been involved in, and demand has been off-the-scale! But it's easy to see why. Uptown is really ticking all of the boxes when it comes to what renters want - a City Centre location in one of the UK's most vibrant cities, riverside views from many of the apartments, roof terraces, an on-site gym and cinema, and industry leading sustainability credentials. "We've got a fantastic team overseeing the lettings, to ensure that our landlords are offering a seamless experience for tenants from the minute they register their interest. We're taking care of everything - from show rounds and sign ups, to helping new residents settle in.

Labour’s Renters Rights Bill is once again in the news, as we move closer to its potential passing in 2025, and we're helping our landlords stay informed and ready to adapt. One of our Senior Portfolio Managers, Nathan Bleasdale shares his thoughts on the latest developments as the Renter’s Reform Bill moves forwards. “With the introduction of Labour’s Renters Rights Bill, significant changes are on the horizon for the private rental sector. It’s essential that both sides of the market—tenants and landlords—are protected in a way that ensures long-term sustainability for the private rental sector. The Bill, which builds on the previous Renters (Reform) Bill, is part of Labour’s promise to create a "more level playing field" for tenants and landlords alike. But what do these changes mean for landlords, and how will the sector cope with the new demands? The Renters Rights Bill brings forward several new regulations designed to improve tenant security and property standards, including: 🍃 Abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions 🍃 The introduction of a Decent Homes Standard and Awaab’s Law into the private rental sector (PRS) 🍃 Limits on rent increases to once per year 🍃 A mandatory database for landlords and an ombudsman to monitor compliance 🍃 Bans on bidding wars for rental properties 🍃 More rights for tenants regarding pet ownership 🍃 Elimination of fixed-term tenancies This sweeping legislative reform aims to address tenant protection, housing quality, and affordability. But the impact on landlords should not be overlooked. The immediate abolition of Section 21 is one of the most debated aspects. While the Bill strengthens tenant rights, there’s underlying anxiety among landlords about how effectively disputes will be managed. The lack of a dedicated court system to handle evictions quickly could lead to delays, making it harder for landlords to manage difficult tenants. Labour needs to ensure the infrastructure is there to support landlords while safeguarding tenant rights. The administrative burden of new compliance measures could discourage smaller landlords from remaining in the market. Another concern is the potential shrinkage of the rental market. The new restrictions could lead to more landlords selling their properties, further reducing supply in an already constrained market. At Leef Property Group, we wholeheartedly support the idea of improving standards in the rental sector, but these reforms need to be implemented in a way that keeps landlords engaged and encourages investment. Labour must address the supply-and-demand imbalance rather than relying on legislation that may limit housing availability. This Bill is a chance to create a fairer rental market, but it must be done thoughtfully. Landlords need the right tools to navigate the new regulations, and the government must ensure the court systems and compliance structures are fit for purpose.”
