Industry Welcomes Labour's Decision Against Rent Controls

Industry figures have expressed their delight that the new Andy Burnham-led Labour government is resisting rent controls for England. Over the weekend, Housing Secretary Angela Rayner made clear that rent controls were not on the agenda, despite earlier comments from Burnham in broad support of controls.

This development is particularly relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as it signals the government's current stance on rental market regulation. The response from industry figures highlights the significance of this policy direction for the property sector.
