n this enlightening episode of This Week in Property , Richard sits down with Julie West and Hayley Scammell from Sussex's leading estate agency, Bacon & Co, to discuss the much-debated Renters' Reform Bill and its sweeping implications for landlords, tenants, and letting agents alike. Julie and Hayley bring a wealth of experience, having weathered the highs and lows of the property market for decades. From Hayley's early days earning £25 a week to Julie's transition from landlord to agency founder, both have a deep understanding of the lettings landscape and the challenges it faces. The discussion opens by addressing the wave of anxiety the Renters' Reform Bill has stirred in the landlord community. While tenants generally perceive the bill as a win for their rights and security, landlords fear increased difficulty in regaining possession of their properties, especially when dealing with problematic tenants. Yet, Julie and Hayley are quick to reassure: the core of responsible letting remains unchanged, and most landlords - true long-term investors - are in the business to maintain positive, lasting relationships with tenants.
