If you’ve turned on the news lately, you’d be forgiven for wanting to climb under your duvet and stay there until 2027. Between the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the kind of inflationary pressures that make your morning flat white feel like a luxury investment, the global outlook is, shall we say, "a bit spicy."

But here in our little corner of South Devon: specifically across Torbay, Newton Abbot, and the wider Teignbridge area: the property market hasn't quite received the memo that it’s supposed to be slowing down. In fact, it seems to have ignored the memo entirely, shredded it, and used it as confetti for a very successful Spring season.

As we hit the beginning of May 2026, I wanted to take a moment to look at exactly what’s happening on the ground. Whether you’re a landlord looking for property management in Torquay, a seller in Newton Abbot wondering if now is the time to jump, or a curious bystander, there’s a lot to talk about.

The Spring Surge: More Than Just Seasonal Sunshine

Traditionally, Spring is always the time when the property market wakes up. The daffodils come out, the sun hits the English Riviera, and suddenly everyone decides they need an extra bedroom or a bigger garden. But 2026 has been different. We weren't just expecting a "normal" Spring; we were braced for a bit of a struggle given the macro-economic headwinds.

Instead, we’ve seen results that have honestly defied the odds.

Sales agreed numbers in Torbay and Newton Abbot have been significantly higher than the forecasts predicted back in January. People aren't just "window shopping" on Rightmove anymore; they are making offers and, more importantly, sticking with them.

Why is this happening?

1. Mortgage Stability: After the rollercoaster of the last couple of years, mortgage rates have finally settled into a "new normal." Buyers have stopped waiting for the rates of 2021 to return (spoiler: they aren't coming back) and have accepted the current landscape. This has unlocked a massive amount of "wait and see" demand.
2. The "Liveability" Factor: Post-pandemic trends are now permanent fixtures. People still want to live in places like Teignbridge and Torbay. The balance of being near the coast or the moors while still having decent links to Exeter and beyond is a pull that global conflict can’t dampen.
3. Resilience in the Face of Inflation: While the cost of living is high, wages in certain sectors have started to catch up, and the sheer lack of housing supply continues to prop up values.

New Instructions: The Lifeblood of the Market

One of the most encouraging signs we’ve seen this Spring is the sheer volume of new instructions. In Newton Abbot especially, we’ve seen a flurry of new listings hitting the market.

For a while, there was a fear that the market would "seize up": that sellers would be too scared to move, leading to a total lack of choice for buyers. Thankfully, that hasn't been the case. Sellers are feeling confident. They’re seeing houses in their street go under offer within weeks, and that’s giving them the green light to list their own properties.

If you’re looking for a letting agent in Torbay or considering selling your home in Teignbridge, this liquidity is great news. A moving market is a healthy market. It means that chains are progressing, and there’s enough variety to keep buyers engaged.

Local Focus: Torbay and Newton Abbot Performance

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of our two main hubs.

Torbay: The Resilient Riviera

Torbay has a unique property DNA. You’ve got everything from high-end villas in Wellswood to compact flats in the town centres and family semis in Paignton. This diversity is its strength.

Despite the noise in the national press about price drops, Torbay has remained remarkably steady. We’ve found that high-quality, well-presented homes are still seeing multiple offers within the first fortnight of marketing. This is where property management in Torbay and property management in Torquay really come into play: investors are seeing the long-term value in the bay, particularly with the continued "staycation" and "work-from-home" appeal.

Newton Abbot: The Strategic Powerhouse

Newton Abbot continues to be the strategic heart of the area. Its proximity to the A38 and the railway line makes it an absolute magnet for professionals. We’ve seen "sales agreed" numbers here outpace many other parts of the South West this Spring.

The market in Newton Abbot is fast. If a house is priced correctly, it’s gone. This is a clear indicator that the demand is real and motivated. For those looking at property management in Newton Abbot, the rental yields remain attractive because the demand for quality housing remains consistently high.

Defying the Global Gloom

It’s impossible to ignore the Middle East conflict and the general state of global politics. Usually, major international uncertainty causes the UK property market to take a collective breath and hold it.

However, what we’re seeing in 2026 is a sense of "life goes on." People still get married, they still have kids, they still change jobs, and they still need a roof over their heads. In many ways, property is being seen once again as a "safe haven" asset. When the world feels unpredictable, there is a deep-seated psychological comfort in owning a tangible piece of Devon.

The Landlord Perspective: Why Property Management Matters Now

If you’re a landlord, you’re likely navigating a maze of new regulations (the Renters’ Rights Act being the big one!) alongside the usual maintenance and tenant finding.

With the market performing better than expected, it’s a tempting time to either expand your portfolio or ensure your current one is performing at its peak. This is where professional property management in Teignbridge and surrounding areas becomes a game-changer.

When the market is moving fast, you need an agent who is proactive, not reactive. You need someone who understands the local nuances: who knows why a property on one side of Newton Abbot might rent for £100 more than one just half a mile away.

At Daniel Butterworth, we pride ourselves on being that local partner. We don't just "manage" properties; we look after them as if they were our own, ensuring that both the landlord and the tenant are happy (because a happy tenant is a long-term tenant, and that’s the secret to a stress-free investment).

Looking Ahead: What’s in Store for the Rest of 2026?

While I don't have a crystal ball (if I did, I’d be writing this from a yacht in the Med), the trends from the first four months of the year give us plenty of reasons to be optimistic.

We expect:

• Continued Steady Demand: As long as employment stays high in the South West, the demand for housing will remain.
• A "Quality" Premium: Buyers and tenants are becoming more discerning. Properties that are energy-efficient, well-maintained, and smartly presented will continue to command a premium.
• Investor Re-entry: As some of the tax and regulatory dust settles, we’re seeing professional landlords coming back into the market, looking for high-yield opportunities in Torquay and Paignton.

Wrapping It Up

The property market in Torbay and Newton Abbot has shown incredible grit so far in 2026. Despite the "permacrisis" we seem to live in, the local desire for homeownership and quality rental living hasn't wavered.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, waiting for a sign to move or to switch your property management in Torquay to someone who actually answers the phone and knows the local streets, this is it. The Spring results have proven that the market is not just surviving; it’s thriving in its own quiet, Devonshire way.

Whether you're selling, letting, or just starting your investment journey, let’s chat. We know these towns inside out, and we’re here to help you navigate whatever the rest of 2026 decides to throw at us.

Hey there, Torbay landlords! Claire here.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the calendar, you’ll know that we are officially just a few days away from May 1, 2026. For most people, that means bank holiday plans and hoping for a bit of English sunshine. But for those of us in the property world, it marks the biggest shake-up to the private rented sector in decades: the Renters’ Rights Act is officially landing.

I know what you’re thinking. "Another law? More paperwork? Claire, just tell me if I need to panic."

The short answer is: No, don't panic. But you do need to be prepared. The rental landscape in Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, and across Teignbridge is changing. The days of "business as usual" are evolving into something a bit more regulated, and while it might feel overwhelming, it’s all manageable if you’ve got the right info.

I’ve spent the last few months diving deep into the legislation so you don’t have to. Here is the simplified, "plain English" version of what the Renters' Rights Act means for you and your Torbay investments.

1. The End of Section 21 (The "No-Fault" Eviction)

This is the headline grabber. From May 1st, Section 21 is officially a thing of the past.

Previously, if a fixed-term tenancy ended, you could regain possession of your property without having to give a specific reason. Under the new Act, you can no longer do that. Every eviction now needs a "legal ground."

What does this mean for you?
If your tenant is paying rent on time and looking after the place, they effectively have a right to stay there indefinitely. However, the government has strengthened "Section 8" grounds. You can still get your property back if:

• You want to sell the property.
• You or a close family member wants to move into the property.
• The tenant is in significant rent arrears.
• The tenant is engaging in anti-social behaviour.

The key change here is that you’ll have to prove these grounds in court if the tenant doesn't leave voluntarily. It makes tenant selection: something we pride ourselves on here at Butterworth Lettings more important than it has ever been.

2. Say Goodbye to Fixed-Term Tenancies

This one is a bit of a mind-bender for those of us used to the traditional 6 or 12-month AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy).

As of May 2026, all tenancies are becoming periodic from day one.

There are no more "fixed terms." A tenant can move in on the 1st of the month and, technically, give their two months' notice shortly after. The idea is to give tenants more flexibility, but for landlords, it means you might see a bit more turnover if you don't have the right tenants in place.

All existing tenancies will eventually roll over into this new periodic system. It’s designed to simplify things: one single system for everyone: but it does mean you can't "lock in" a tenant for a year anymore.

3. Rent Increases: The New Rules

We all know that costs have been rising: mortgages, maintenance, and insurance aren't getting any cheaper. You can still increase your rent, but the Renters' Rights Act introduces some stricter "how-to" steps:

• Once a year only: You can only raise the rent once every 12 months.
• The "Market Rate" rule: You can only increase rent to the current market price.
• Notice period: You must give at least two months’ notice of any increase using a specific legal form (Section 13).
• The Tribunal: Tenants now have more power to challenge increases they think are "above market rate" via a first-tier tribunal.

In Torbay, where demand usually outstrips supply, market rates have stayed strong. As long as you aren't trying to price-gouge, you shouldn't have much trouble here, but you do need to make sure your paperwork is spot on.

4. The Decent Homes Standard & Awaab’s Law

For the first time, the Decent Homes Standard is being applied to the private sector. Most of my clients already provide fantastic homes, so for many of you, this won't change much. But the bar has been raised.

Your property must be free from "Category 1" hazards. This covers things like dangerous wiring, broken heating, and: most importantly: damp and mould.

This links to Awaab’s Law which is going to be implemented in the future. It requires landlords to investigate and fix serious hazards (like mould that could impact health) within strict, legal timeframes. If a tenant reports a leak or a damp patch, you can’t let it sit for weeks. You’ve got to get on it.

5. "Fido" is Welcome: Pets in Lets

This is a big one for our animal-loving coastal community. Landlords can no longer "unreasonably" refuse a request from a tenant to keep a pet. However there are exceptions where the landlord will be able to legally refuse a pet request.

6. No More Discrimination (Benefits and Families)

The Act makes it illegal to have a blanket ban on tenants who receive benefits or have children. You can’t put "No DSS" or "No Kids" in your adverts anymore.

Selection should be based on affordability and suitability. At the end of the day, if a tenant can afford the rent and has a great track record, their source of income shouldn't be the deciding factor.

7. Only One Month’s Rent in Advance

This is a technical change but an important one for your cash flow and onboarding. You can now only ask for a maximum of one month’s rent in advance.

In the past, some landlords asked for 6 months upfront if a tenant had a poor credit score or was moving from abroad. That's now a no-go. You’ll need to rely on solid referencing and potentially a guarantor instead.

8. Higher Penalties for the "Bad Apples"

The government is getting tough on rogue landlords. Local councils (like Torbay Council) have been given much more power to issue fines and enforcement notices.

Fines for non-compliance are increasing significantly. This is why having a professional eye on your property is no longer just a "nice to have": it’s your insurance policy against accidental legal blunders.

Why This Matters for Torbay and Teignbridge Landlords

Living and working in a coastal area like ours presents unique challenges. We have a high demand for long-term rentals, but we also have a massive holiday let market.

With these new rules, some landlords might feel tempted to switch to short-term airbnb-style letting to avoid the Renters' Rights Act. My advice? Think twice. The government is also looking at closing loopholes there, and the stability of a long-term tenant: even with these new rules: often outweighs the seasonal headache and high turnover of holiday guests.

The Torbay market is resilient. People always want to live by the sea! But the "DIY Landlord" era is getting risky. One wrong move with a Section 8 notice or a missed damp report could cost you thousands in fines or months of lost rent.

How We Can Help

I know that was a lot to take in. The Renters' Rights Act is a lot of "legalese," but my job is to make it simple.

When you work with a professional letting agent, you aren't just paying for someone to find a tenant. You're paying for:

1. Compliance: We ensure your property hits the Decent Homes Standard before the keys are even handed over.
2. Expert Referencing: Since Section 21 is gone, getting the right tenant the first time is mission-critical. We dig deep into the data to ensure your tenant is reliable.
3. Correct Paperwork: From Section 13 rent increase notices to the new periodic tenancy agreements, we handle the admin so you don't end up in a tribunal.
4. Maintenance Management: With increased scrutiny, our network of local contractors ensures repairs are done within the legal timeframes, keeping you on the right side of the law.

The rental market isn't "dying": it's just growing up. It’s becoming more professional, and honestly, that’s a good thing for landlords who take pride in their properties.

If you're a landlord in Torbay or Teignbridge, you've probably heard whispers about the Renters' Rights Act. Maybe you've seen a few headlines, heard some chatter at a local property event, or received a slightly panicked phone call from a fellow landlord. The truth is, this is one of the biggest shake-ups to the private rental sector in decades, and it's coming into force on 1 May 2026.

But here's the thing: change doesn't have to be scary. Yes, there's a lot to get your head around, but with the right support and a bit of forward planning, you can navigate these new rules with confidence. That's exactly what we're here to help with.

Let's break down what the Renters' Rights Act actually means for you as a landlord in our corner of Devon.

The Big One: Goodbye Section 21

Let's start with the headline change, the one that's got everyone talking. From 1 May 2026, Section 21 "no-fault" evictions are being abolished.

For years, Section 21 has been the go-to tool for landlords who needed to regain possession of their property without having to prove any fault on the tenant's part. It was straightforward, predictable, and, let's be honest, pretty landlord-friendly.

That's all changing now.

Under the new rules, you'll only be able to evict tenants using Section 8 notices, which require you to have specific legal grounds. These include things like:

• Rent arrears
• Anti-social behaviour
• Breach of tenancy terms
• You genuinely need to sell the property
• You or a family member wants to move in

It's a significant shift, and it means landlords will need to be much more careful about documentation and following proper procedures. If you're working with a trusted letting agent in Torbay or letting agent in Teignbridge, they'll be able to guide you through exactly what evidence you'll need and how to stay compliant.

Fixed-Term Tenancies Are Out, Rolling Tenancies Are In

Here's another change that might catch some landlords off guard. Under the Renters' Rights Act, all fixed-term assured tenancies will automatically convert to periodic (rolling) tenancies.

What does this mean in practice? Well, tenants will be able to leave with just two months' notice at any point. There's no more locking someone into a 12-month contract.

For landlords, this might feel a bit unsettling at first, after all, we all like a bit of certainty. But it's worth remembering that most good tenants aren't itching to move every few months. If you're providing a well-maintained property and treating your tenants fairly, they're likely to stick around.

The key here is to focus on what you can control: keeping your property in great condition, being responsive to issues, and building a positive relationship with your tenants. That's where professional property management in Torbay or property management in Teignbridge can really make a difference.

New Rules Around Rent

The Renters' Rights Act introduces several changes to how rent works, and these are important ones to get your head around.

Upfront Rent Limits

From May 2026, you can only ask for one month's rent in advance from new tenants. If you've been in the habit of asking for several months upfront (particularly from tenants without a UK rental history), this will require a rethink.

Advertising Restrictions

When you advertise your property, you'll need to state the rent amount clearly, and you cannot accept offers above the advertised price. No more rental bidding wars, in other words.

Rent Increases

Rent increases will be limited to once per year, with a minimum gap of 52 weeks between increases. You'll also need to give tenants two months' notice (up from the current one month).

On top of that, tenants will have the right to challenge what they consider excessive rent increases at the First-tier Tribunal, and here's the kicker: the tribunal won't be able to increase the rent beyond what the landlord originally proposed. It's a one-way street.

The Right to Request a Pet

This one tends to divide opinion, but it's now part of the law: tenants will have the right to request to keep a pet, and landlords must consider the request fairly.

Now, "consider fairly" doesn't mean you have to say yes to every request. If there are genuine reasons why a pet wouldn't be suitable: perhaps the property has a communal garden with restrictions, or there are concerns about the type of animal: you can still refuse. But you'll need to have a reasonable justification.

For many landlords in Torbay and Teignbridge, this won't be a huge issue. Plenty of properties are perfectly suited to pets, and tenants with well-behaved animals often make excellent, long-term renters. It's all about assessing each request on its own merits.

The 12-Month Protected Period

Here's something that's easy to overlook but really important. The new rules introduce a 12-month protected period at the start of every tenancy.

During this time, you cannot evict a tenant on the grounds that you want to sell the property or move in yourself. If you do need to use these grounds after the protected period, you'll need to give four months' notice.

This is designed to give tenants more security in their homes: but it does mean landlords need to think carefully before letting a property. If there's any chance you might need to sell or move back in within the first year, it's worth having a conversation with a professional letting agent in Teignbridge or letting agent in Torbay before you sign anyone up.

Enforcement: What Happens If You Get It Wrong?

The government isn't messing about when it comes to enforcement. Local councils will have the power to impose civil penalties for non-compliance, and the fines are significant:

• £7,000 for initial or minor breaches
• Up to £40,000 for serious or repeat offences
• Criminal prosecution with unlimited fines in the worst cases

And it doesn't stop there. From late 2026, landlords will need to register themselves and each property on a new mandatory PRS (Private Rented Sector) Database. If you're not registered, you won't be able to seek possession of your property.

There's also a Private Rented Sector Ombudsman Scheme on the horizon, expected to become compulsory by 2028. This will give tenants another avenue to raise complaints: so staying on top of your responsibilities has never been more important.

What Should Torbay & Teignbridge Landlords Do Now?

With 1 May 2026 fast approaching, now is the time to start preparing. Here's a quick checklist to get you started:

1. Review your tenancy agreements – Make sure they're compliant with the new rules and ready for the switch to periodic tenancies.

2. Get your documentation in order – If you ever need to use Section 8 grounds, you'll need clear evidence. Start keeping detailed records now.

3. Check your property's condition – The Decent Homes Standard is being extended to the private sector. Make sure your property meets the required standards.

4. Think about your long-term plans – If you're considering selling or moving back into a property, factor in the 12-month protected period.

5. Talk to a professional – Whether it's understanding the new rent rules or preparing for the PRS Database, having expert support makes everything easier.

The rental landscape is changing: but with the right support, there's no reason you can't thrive in this new era.

Being a landlord in Torbay and Teignbridge isn’t always straightforward. Whether you’ve got a terraced house in Shiphay or Newton Abbot or a flat in Dawlish, managing a rental property comes with its fair share of headaches. And let’s be honest, most of us learn the hard way.

The good news? You don’t have to make the same mistakes everyone else does. After years of working with landlords across Torbay and Teignbridge, we’ve spotted the same issues popping up time and time again. So let’s run through the seven biggest property management mistakes local landlords keep making, and more importantly, how you can avoid them.

1. Rushing Through Tenant Screening

We get it. You’ve got an empty property, you’re losing money every day it sits vacant, and suddenly that first applicant seems like a dream come true. But here’s the thing, skipping proper tenant checks is one of the fastest ways to land yourself in hot water.

Poor tenant screening can lead to missed rent payments, property damage, or worse. And chasing a problem tenant through the courts? That’s months of stress and expense you really don’t need.

How to fix it:

Take your time. Always verify employment, check references from previous landlords, and run a proper credit check. If a prospective tenant refuses to go through the screening process, that’s a red flag right there. A little patience upfront can save you a world of hassle down the line.

2. Relying on Verbal Agreements

“We shook hands on it” might work down the pub, but it’s a recipe for disaster in property management. First-time landlords in Torbay and Teignbridge often underestimate how much paperwork is involved in letting a property, until something goes wrong.

Without a written lease, you’ve got no leg to stand on when disputes arise. And trust us, disputes will arise.

How to fix it:

Always use a written, signed tenancy agreement. Make sure it covers the basics: start and end dates, rent amount and payment terms, deposit details, pet policies, smoking rules, maintenance responsibilities, and what happens if either party wants to make changes.

Before anyone signs, walk through the agreement together. It might feel a bit formal, but it sets clear expectations from day one.

3. Ignoring Maintenance Requests

This one’s a biggie. We’ve seen landlords sit on maintenance requests for weeks, sometimes months, thinking they’ll save a few quid. Spoiler alert: they don’t.

Small problems become big problems fast. That minor leak under the sink? Leave it long enough and you’re looking at water damage, mould, and a repair bill that makes your eyes water.

Plus, landlords have a legal obligation to keep properties in a livable condition. Torbay Council and Teignbridge District Council don’t mess about when it comes to enforcement. Ignore your responsibilities and you could be facing formal action, financial penalties, or the council stepping in to carry out works themselves.

How to fix it:

Respond to maintenance requests promptly. Set up a simple system, even just a dedicated email address, so tenants can report issues easily. And when something needs fixing, use licensed, insured contractors. It’s worth paying a bit more for quality work that won’t need redoing six months later.

4. Skipping Regular Property Inspections

Out of sight, out of mind? Not when it comes to rental properties.

Without regular inspections, you might not find out about that broken extractor fan until there’s black mould creeping up the bathroom walls. Or discover your tenant’s “small dog” is actually three cats and a ferret.

How to fix it:

Schedule inspections at least quarterly, and give your tenants proper notice beforehand (that’s a legal requirement). Use these visits to check smoke detectors, look over the heating system, and spot any maintenance issues before they escalate.

Regular inspections also help build a decent relationship with your tenants. It shows you care about the property, which often encourages them to care about it too.

5. Not Enforcing Lease Terms

Here’s a scenario we see all the time: the lease says no pets, but the tenant asks nicely, and the landlord thinks, “Ah, what’s the harm in one small dog?”

The harm is this: once you let one rule slide, you’ve set a precedent. Other tenants notice. Before you know it, everyone’s pushing boundaries, and you’ve lost control of your own property.

How to fix it:

Be consistent. If a rule is in the lease, enforce it. That doesn’t mean being unreasonable: if circumstances change and you’re happy to allow something, update the lease formally. But don’t make verbal exceptions that undermine your own agreements.

Think long-term. Keeping standards consistent protects your property’s condition and makes your life much easier when it’s time to find new tenants.

6. Underestimating Running Costs

Plenty of landlords in Torbay and Newton Abbot and across Teignbridge have been caught out by unexpected costs. That boiler replacement you didn’t budget for. The void period between tenants. The insurance premium that crept up without you noticing.

How to fix it:

Create an annual budget that accounts for everything: mortgage payments, insurance, taxes, routine maintenance, and a healthy contingency fund for surprises. A good rule of thumb is to budget for at least one month’s vacancy per year.

And don’t skimp on preventative maintenance. Servicing your boiler annually costs a fraction of replacing it in an emergency.

7. Falling Behind on Regulations

Landlord regulations change more often than the British weather, and keeping up isn’t optional. From electrical safety checks to energy performance certificates, there’s a lot to stay on top of: and Torbay Council and Teignbridge District Council are increasingly active in enforcement.

Penalties can be steep. HMO violations, for instance, can land you with fines up to £30,000. That’s not pocket change.

How to fix it:

Stay informed. Subscribe to updates from your local council, join landlord associations, or work with a letting agent Torbay and Teignbridge landlords trust to handle compliance on your behalf.

Key requirements to keep on your radar include:

• Gas Safety Certificates (annual)
• Electrical Installation Condition Reports (every 5 years)
• Energy Performance Certificates (minimum rating E, with changes coming)
• Deposit protection (within 30 days)
• Right to Rent checks

If staying compliant feels overwhelming, that’s where professional property management Torbay and Newton Abbot landlords rely on can really earn its keep.

The Bottom Line

Look, nobody becomes a landlord because they love paperwork and boiler servicing. But getting the basics right makes everything easier: fewer disputes, fewer nasty surprises, and better tenants who stick around longer.

If you’re a landlord in Torbay or Teignbridge and any of this sounds familiar, don’t beat yourself up. These mistakes are incredibly common. The important thing is recognising them and making changes before they cost you time, money, or your sanity.
