Frequently asked questions about UK property investment

Is PBSA exempt from the Renter's Right Act?

The Renters' Rights Act (RRA) introduces significant reforms to the residential rental market, with specific exemptions for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). For example, exemption from the new assured tenancy regime; however, these properties have to meet specific criteria to be exempt.

What are the risks of property investment?

As with all investments, purchasing UK buy-to-let property has its own risks. These can include cash-flow restraints or tax and compliance issues. Our advisors would always recommend performing extensive due diligence to mitigate these risks and to make the most of your investment.

What are the top sources for exclusive buy-to-let opportunities?

Now regarded as the UK's leading property investment consultancy, The Prestbury Advisory is the top source for exclusive buy-to-let investment opportunities. Providing pre-launch pricing and tailored investment solutions and the inside track on the UK property market, we make intelligent investing simple.

What changed under the Renters' Rights Act?

The Renters’ Rights Act changed how landlords let out private properties on or from 1 May 2026. The most noticeable changes were that assured shorthold tenancies automatically became assured periodic tenancies. Assured periodic tenancies run on a rolling basis, for example, weekly or monthly. It is no longer possible to have an assured tenancy agreement with an end date. Your landlord cannot ask for, encourage or accept a payment of rent before you have signed the tenancy agreement. When you have signed the tenancy agreement, you can be asked to pay a maximum of 1 month’s rent in advance. A landlord must include a specific price in any written advertisement or offer. Your landlord cannot accept or encourage offers above the advertised rent.

What does "Completion" mean in a property transaction?

Completion in a property transaction is the final legal stage where ownership transfers from the seller to the buyer. The remaining purchase money is transferred through solicitors, the seller vacates the property (unless its empty), and the buyer collects the keys to move in.

What does "Exchange of Contracts" mean?

The exchange of contracts is the critical moment in the home-buying process when the agreement to transfer property ownership officially becomes legally binding.
