The Big Question: Have you changed your lettings model?

Sally Walmsley 9 November 2026

The private rented sector has gone through a period of significant change in the last 12 months and we are asking you whether you have changed your approach to lettings as a result.

We want to know whether you have diversified your portfolio, perhaps branching out into mixed use lets or commercial developments, or maybe you have moved into short term lets or serviced accommodation market?

You could have changed your approach entirely and moved from one market to another. Maybe legislative changes have forced you to reconsider student lets to move into family homes, or you've decided HMOs will be more lucrative than single lets.

It could be the opposite – and that you are staying in the part of the market in which you are expert.

Whatever your story we want to hear from you for our regular Big Question feature for your members' magazine Property. 

Each edition we ask you to share your thoughts on different aspects of lettings - and how you approach them - with a range of responses chosen for publication.

If you would like to contribute, please email our editor [email protected] or share your views by clicking the button below and answering the question.

To feature your comments, we will need a brief quote outlining your plans, and why you're taking that approach, along with a small head-and-shoulders photograph for the magazine. Responses will be revealed in the spring edition of Property.
