A move often starts long before a property is officially listed. If selling within the next few months is becoming a realistic possibility, September is a good time to work out what needs to happen first.
The Renters' Rights Act has already reshaped the private rented sector this year, but one of its most significant measures is still to come: a mandatory PRS Landlord Ombudsman, giving every tenant in England a free, binding route to complain about their landlord.
