What changes next, and when do we have to be ready?
Track commencement phases and the operational deadlines letting agents and landlords need to plan around.
Updated as each phase is verified against primary sources
Open toolEach tool is built from primary sources: the legislation itself, commencement regulations, official Departmental guidance and named local authority records. Where our record does not confirm a position, the tool says so rather than implying certainty.
Tools are reviewed by the editorial team when a rule changes and each entry carries the date it was last verified. None of them is legal advice, and none replaces confirming the position with the responsible authority or a qualified adviser.
