As rental regulations grow increasingly complex, more landlords are choosing to hand over portfolio management to professional agencies. Many older tenancy agreements, created in the 1990s and early 2000s, no longer meet today’s strict compliance standards. From gas and electrical safety checks to deposit protection and EPC requirements, ensuring every document is up to date is essential. Here’s how updating legacy portfolios safeguards landlords, protects tenants, and keeps property investments legally compliant in a changing rental landscape.
Tenant demand in the North West has reached record highs, while the supply of rental homes continues to shrink, creating a competitive but complex market for landlords. In Manchester, growing population pressures, new regulations, and rising costs are reshaping the rental landscape. For landlords, success now depends on staying informed, maintaining quality properties, and adapting strategies to meet soaring demand while managing risk.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we introduced a series of measures to ensure business continuity and protect our customers, staff, and community. From remote working and virtual property viewings to online referencing and remote inspections, our focus remained on keeping everyone safe while maintaining our high service standards. These steps allowed Property Genius to continue supporting landlords and tenants with minimal disruption during one of the most challenging times for the property industry.
We’re thrilled to announce one of the biggest milestones in our journey so far, Property Genius has officially acquired South Manchester Flat Agency (SMFA). This marks our largest and most exciting expansion to date, and it represents an incredible opportunity to grow, evolve, and serve even more landlords and tenants across Greater Manchester.
