The Society of Licensed Conveyancers (SLC) has published a new client guide to the Renters’ Rights Act, to support conveyancers and firms in educating landlords, renters and members of the public.
Written in plain English, the guide explains the implications of the changes and explains the impact of the landmark legislation on buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants.
Advice and explanations cover a wide range of property related topics, including restrictive covenants, boundaries, septic tanks (England and Wales), transfers of title and stamp duty land tax, with the aim of helping conveyancers explain complex issues clearly and consistently to clients.
SLC chairperson Simon Law said: “Our client guides have become an invaluable resource for member firms. They are written in straightforward, jargon-free language, making it easier for clients to understand complex issues without lengthy explanations.
“This saves conveyancers significant time and helps reduce repeated questions, allowing them to focus on the technical aspects of the transaction.
“The new Renters’ Rights Act 2025 guide continues this approach, providing a clear and practical resource to help conveyancers support clients during a period of significant legislative change.”
The guide forms part of the SLC’s library of more than 40 client-facing guides available to members, which can be found on the SLC’s website.
