Over 40% of UK households own a pet, yet until 2026, millions of renters faced blanket "no pets" clauses that left them with an impossible choice between a home and a companion animal. The Renters' Rights Act changes that equation permanently — and it is reshaping how chartered surveyors assess,
Nearly one in three party wall disputes in England and Wales involves a single-storey extension — yet bungalow projects consistently generate the most complex schedule of condition requirements of any residential build type. The combination of low-level excavation, shallow foundations, and shared boundary walls at ground level creates a unique
Six point three million properties across England already sit in areas at risk of flooding from rivers, sea, or surface water — and that number is projected to climb to 8 million, or one in four properties, by mid-century [2]. After the spring 2026 flood events accelerated pressure on surveyors,
Buyer enquiries collapsed to a net balance of -26% in February 2026 — the sharpest single-month deterioration recorded since early 2023 — catching many surveyors and property professionals off guard after a tentatively optimistic start to the year.

With the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 now reshaping how planning gain is captured
Radon gas kills approximately 1,100 non-smokers in the UK every single year — yet the majority of homebuyers have never asked their surveyor a single question about it [1]. As 2026 brings renewed regulatory focus and updated RICS guidance, building survey protocols for radon gas risks in UK properties are
Boundary disputes between neighbours cost UK property owners an estimated £3 billion annually in legal fees, lost property value, and prolonged litigation — yet the majority of these cases hinge on a single document: the expert witness valuation report. In 2026, that report looks very different from what courts saw
Over 250 errors, omissions, and contradictions were identified in the foundational evidence underpinning Awaab's Law Phase 1 — a forensic finding that sends a stark warning to every expert witness preparing reports for the expanded hazard categories arriving in October 2026.

From 1 May 2026, every private landlord in England must be registered on a centralized PRS (Private Rented Sector) database — and that single requirement is quietly reshaping how party wall surveyors operate on tenant-occupied properties.
