September raced by, with people enjoying the last days of summer and families readjusting to school terms again. With so much going on, you may have missed the latest property news. Here’s what we learnt last month.
From 1st October 2025, we went live with our new integrated accounts system on Street.co.uk, bringing all rent payments, statements, and property finances together in one simple platform.
