Landlord Action Reports Record Possession Enquiries in July
Landlord Action recorded its busiest month for possession enquiries in almost a year in July, outside of the exceptional spikes seen in March and April ahead of the Renters’ Rights Act coming into force. The legal firm reported that more than 35% of enquiries converted into instructions during the month.
The total number of new instructions in July was 28% higher than in July 2025, making it one of the highest monthly figures recorded by Landlord Action over the past 12 months. This increase in activity comes as the sector responds to changes associated with the ending of Section 21.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these figures highlight a significant rise in possession-related activity, which may impact workload and processes as the market adjusts to the new legislative environment.
