Switching mid-tenancy
Your tenancy is an agreement between you and your tenant, not your agent. Changing agent doesn’t end it or change its terms.
Your tenant doesn’t need to sign anything new, the rent stays the same and they keep living in the property as before. What changes is who looks after it: who collects the rent, who your tenant calls about repairs and who keeps your paperwork in order.
Since 1 May 2026, tenancies in England are periodic, with no fixed end date. So there’s no “end of term” to wait for. The only timing that matters is the notice period in your current agent’s contract.

Your tenant stays put the whole time.
Signs it’s time
If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to move.
Your tenant ends up chasing you because the agent hasn’t acted. Awaab’s Law is set to bring legal deadlines for serious hazards in private rentals.
Contractor invoices arrive with a commission added on top, so every repair costs more than it should.
There’s no named contact, emails go unanswered and you only hear from the agent when there’s a bill.
A gas safety record or electrical report has lapsed, or there’s no record of what was given to your tenant.
Rent is paid over late, deductions are unclear or money sits with the agent longer than it should.
Nobody has talked to you about the landlord database, rent increases under Section 13 or the new possession rules.
How it works
You make one decision. We do the chasing.
Book a call or send us your current agency agreement. We check the notice period and any exit fees, and agree the best date to switch.
You tell your current agent in writing that you’re leaving. We’ll help you word the letter, including the request for a full handover.
We chase your old agent for the deposit, documents, keys and any money they hold for you, and check that everything is complete.
Your tenant gets our contact details and the new rent payment details in writing, plus up-to-date information about where their deposit is protected.
We review every certificate and record, book anything that’s due, and your first 60 days of management are free.
Step 1 is free, with no obligation to switch.

Five things decide when you can leave and what it costs.
Many agency agreements ask for one to three months’ notice. Work out the earliest date you can leave.
Some contracts charge a fee for ending the agreement, especially in the first year.
Some contracts keep charging commission for as long as a tenant the agent introduced stays. Fees like this must be set out clearly, and the courts have found some of them unfair.
Check whether it’s held by a government-backed scheme or by the agent under an insured scheme. This decides how it moves to us.
Rent collected, repair floats and any other client money must be paid to you or passed to us when you leave.
Send us your agreement before you give notice. We’ll read it and tell you what leaving will cost. If a fee looks unreasonable, take legal advice before you pay it.

FAQs
Yes. The tenancy is between you and your tenant, so changing agent doesn’t end it or change its terms. Since 1 May 2026, tenancies in England are periodic, so you don’t need to wait for a fixed term to end. You only need to follow the notice period in your current agent’s contract.
No. The existing tenancy carries on unchanged. We write to your tenant with our contact details and the new rent payment details.
It must stay protected the whole time. Your old agent passes the deposit, or responsibility for it, to us. If it moves to a different scheme, your tenant must be given the new scheme’s details. We do this for you.
It depends on your contract. Many agency agreements ask for one to three months. Send us your agreement and we’ll tell you the earliest date you can switch.
Some contracts include an exit fee, or a fee that continues while a tenant the agent found stays in the property. Fees like these must be set out clearly in the contract, and the courts have found some of them unfair. If a fee looks unreasonable, take legal advice before paying it.
Most of the timing comes from your current agent’s notice period. After that, the work is the handover of the deposit, documents and keys. We chase it for you and keep you updated until everything is with us.
