The Role of Guarantors - With Ryan Heaven (Let's Talk Lets)

Season 6 · Episode 1

Wednesday, April 23, 2025 • Duration 36:15

LET'S TALK LETS | RETURNS FOR SEASON 6!

This week, we're thrilled to welcome back Ryan Heaven for a deep dive into the evolving world of guarantors and what the Renters' Rights Bill means for tenants, landlords, and letting agents alike.

With the removal of Rent in Advance and Section 21, and the end of fixed-term tenancies, the role of guarantors is about to change significantly. More landlords are likely to require a guarantor, and on the other side of the coin, guarantors could find themselves liable indefinitely.

Heidi and Ryan unpack:

1 | Why guarantors will matter more than ever

2 | The risks and responsibilities for all parties

3 | Alternative solutions letting agents should consider

(Yes, there's a shameless plug for our new Professional Guarantor service—but when it’s a win-win-win for landlords, tenants, and agents, we’re more than happy to shout about it!)

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 • Duration 48:52

In this Renters’ Rights Special, Heidi Shackell, CEO of The Lettings Hub, is joined by Ben Beadle and James Kent from the NRLA to break down the key issues surrounding the Renters’ Rights Bill and what it means for landlords, letting agents, and tenants.

They discuss the abolition of Section 21 and how this could lead to court delays and higher costs for landlords trying to regain possession of their properties. With the end of fixed-term tenancies, they explore how this will shift what landlords look for in potential tenants and the long-term impact on tenancy agreements.
