Why every landlord should review their portfolio now

Most landlords set their rents, sign with an agent, and then leave the arrangement untouched for years. Meanwhile the market moves, costs creep up, and regulations change. A portfolio review is the simplest way to find out whether your investment is still performing — and the cost of not reviewing is almost always higher than landlords expect.

The case for reviewing your portfolio in 2026 is stronger than ever:

  • The Renters' Rights Act 2025 is now in force. The reforms that took effect on 1 May 2026 change how tenancies work, how and when rent can be increased, and what compliance landlords must evidence. A portfolio that was fully compliant two years ago may not be today.

  • Letting agent fees have quietly risen while service levels, for many landlords, have not.

  • Rents in South West London have shifted. Some landlords are under-renting by hundreds of pounds a month without realising it; others are over-priced and sitting with costly void periods.

  • Running costs and maintenance spend often go unchecked, with landlords overpaying for reactive repairs that planned maintenance would have prevented.

A review takes the guesswork out. You get a clear, evidence-based picture of where your portfolio stands — and a plan to improve it.

What does a portfolio review cover?

Our portfolio review is a structured, line-by-line assessment of the financial and operational health of your rental properties. Here's exactly what we look at.

Rent and rental income

We benchmark each of your properties against current, verified local comparables — actual agreed lets in your street and surrounding roads, not optimistic asking prices. We identify where you may be under-renting and could safely increase income, and where an over-ambitious rent may be costing you in voids. We also review your rent collection, arrears history and how rent increases are being handled under the new tenancy rules.

Agent and management fees

This is where landlords are most often surprised. We break down what you are currently paying — management fees, renewal fees, tenant-find fees, "admin" charges, marketing add-ons and any hidden percentages — and show you the true total cost as a proportion of your rent. Many landlords discover they are paying significantly more than they thought, and more than they need to.

Maintenance costs

We examine your maintenance spend over the past 12–24 months to separate genuine, necessary repairs from avoidable, reactive call-outs. We look at whether you're being charged fair contractor rates, whether mark-ups are being applied, and whether a planned, preventative maintenance approach would reduce your costs and protect your asset.

Running costs and overheads

Beyond rent and repairs, profitability lives in the detail: landlord insurance, gas safety and EICR certification, energy performance, ground rent and service charges, accountancy, void-period costs and finance. We map these out so you can see your real net yield — not just the headline rent.

Compliance and risk

We check that each property meets current legal obligations: deposit protection, Right to Rent, gas and electrical safety, EPC standards, licensing (including selective licensing schemes operating in parts of Wandsworth) and the requirements introduced by the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Non-compliance is expensive and, increasingly, exposes landlords to serious penalties. We flag the gaps before they become problems.

Anything else worth noting

Every portfolio is different. We also consider your longer-term goals — whether you're holding, growing, refinancing or planning to sell — and whether your current structure and agent are aligned with where you actually want to be.

Why landlords choose Your Home Managed

We're an independent agency, not a national chain. That means our advice is honest, our fees are transparent, and our service is personal. Here's what landlords gain by switching to us.

Lower, transparent fees. Because we're independent and locally run, our overheads are leaner than the big corporate agencies — and we pass that on. Many landlords who switch to us pay less than they were paying their previous agent. No surprise charges, no buried percentages, no "admin fee" for every email.

A genuinely better service. You deal with real people who know your properties and know South West London. We're responsive, proactive and accountable — not a call centre and a portal.

Local expertise that pays for itself. We live and work in Balham, Clapham, Tooting, Streatham and Wandsworth. We know what tenants will pay, which streets command a premium, and how the local market is moving. That local knowledge is the difference between a property that earns its potential and one that doesn't.

Compliance handled, properly. With the Renters' Rights Act 2025 reshaping the rules, you need an agent who is genuinely on top of the legislation. We make sure your portfolio is compliant and stays that way.

No obligation, ever. The review is free. There's no pressure to switch. Worst case, you get a free, expert second opinion on your portfolio. Best case, you save money and get a better service.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a portfolio review cost? Nothing. The review is completely free and carries no obligation. You're under no pressure to switch agents.

I'm tied into a contract with my current agent. Can I still get a review? Yes. A review is useful whether or not you're free to switch right now. We can review your portfolio today and help you plan a move for when your current agreement allows it. We'll also help you understand your existing contract's notice terms.

Will switching to a new agent be disruptive for my tenants? No. We manage the handover for you, keep your tenants informed, and ensure a smooth transition. In most cases tenants barely notice the change — other than a more responsive service.

Do you only review large portfolios? Not at all. We review portfolios of every size, including single buy-to-let properties. Every landlord deserves to know their property is performing.

How does the Renters' Rights Act 2025 affect me as a landlord? The Act, in force from 1 May 2026, changes how tenancies operate, how rent increases are managed, and what compliance landlords must demonstrate. As part of your review we'll assess your portfolio against the current rules and flag anything that needs updating.

How quickly can I get my review? Once you've shared your portfolio details, we typically complete the analysis within a few working days and arrange a time to talk you through it.
