Agents urged to act now as MEES energy efficiency countdown starts – LandlordToday.com
With the new regulations only a year away, British letting agents are already gearing themselves up to prepare their clients for when the legislation kicks in.
This weekend marks one year to go before the introduction of new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards – which are expected to have a significant impact on the rental sector.

British holiday home sales heat up as the falling pound leaves homes on the Continent more expensive – The Daily Mail Online
The backlash from Brexit could already be affecting the UK’s holiday home market, as experts predict another sharp fall in the pound will case continentals to snap up property in the UK’s holiday hot spots.

While it is bad news for those taking holidays abroad, it is good news for those spending breaks in the UK, particularly those who want to invest in holiday homes. Those who might have previously bought such properties on the Continent are now finding it cheaper to do so here, leading to a surge in demand that will then push up prices.
