Property Perspectives – January 2026

Monthly insights for people in real estate.

2025 set a furious pace for legislative change and whilst, by and large, 2026 is not set to explore legislative pastures new, it will be the year where implementation and compliance will be key as stakeholders in the real estate market seek to translate policy into practice.

This edition of our newsletter explores some of the main developments shaping the property landscape this year, including ongoing reforms to building safety regulation, further progress on leasehold reform, and important changes to the planning regime.

Together, these measures will continue to influence how both commercial and residential property is developed, transacted and managed, with wide-ranging implications for owners, developers, investors and occupiers alike.

We highlight the practical considerations arising from these changes and what they mean for stakeholders as the Year of the Horse gathers pace. Those first past the post will be the organisations that stay abreast of change and capitalise on the opportunities it creates.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to our business development manager Charlotte Davidson.
