Presenters: Richard Snape, Head of Legal Training at Davitt Jones Bould (DJB) and Joanna King, Product Manager & Legal & Compliance Lead at tmGroup
On 28 April, we hosted a session bringing together a practical discussion on the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 and what it means for obtaining vacant possession in residential property transactions. The Act isn’t just for landlords and tenants; it iss already changing what conveyancers need to check, advise on, and the potential risk exposure when handling tenanted properties.
Joanna King, Product Manager & Legal & Compliance Lead at tmGroup, was joined by Richard Snape, Head of Legal Training at Davitt Jones Bould (DJB), who provided expert legal insight and practical guidance for property professionals navigating the new rules.
