How the Renters’ Reform Act is Transforming the Rental Markets in Derby and Belper

As we move further into 2026, the Renters’ Reform Act is encouraging a wave of positive change across the UK and both Derby and Belper are feeling its benefits. 

At Boxall, Brown & Jones, we’ve been closely monitoring how this landmark legislation is reshaping the rental landscape—bringing greater fairness, security and transparency for both tenants and landlords.

In Derby, we’re already seeing a ripple effect. Renters are benefiting from more secure, longer tenancies, giving them a sense of stability, while landlords are embracing a clearer, more predictable process. The act’s emphasis on transparency and improved dispute resolution is fostering a healthier, more balanced rental market.

Meanwhile, our office in Belper, Derbyshire, is also seeing a positive shift. The Belper market is buoyant , with rising demand for family homes and an uptick in rents. At Boxall Brown & Jones, we’re proud to serve both communities, offering tailored advice and local expertise.

We believe that both Derby and Belper are perfectly poised for this next chapter. The Renters’ Reform Act is more than just a policy shift; it’s a catalyst for a fairer, more dynamic rental market and we’re excited to help you navigate it.
