FPTV EP 286: SELF-MANAGED RENTAL RISKS: Why Solo Landlords Need Expert Help
As we enter 2026, owning and managing a rental home is increasingly demanding, unforgiving, and legally exposed, with self-managed rental risks greater than ever before.
The margin for error or neglect has disappeared, and there’s increasingly nowhere to hide. This has caused some landlords to sell up, but others are expanding or even starting their portfolio.
However, success today means monitoring legislative change, maintaining watertight records and operating as if you are already being audited so you can defend your actions under scrutiny.
Understandably, many solo landlords are weighing up whether the small savings on management fees are worth the significant legal and financial exposure that comes with doing it all alone.
With that in mind, letting agents Richard Cook and Kerin Marsahll have put together a guide to self-managed rental risks to give you an idea of the lettings world ahead.

Fife House Price Crash in 2026?
In early 2023, property forecasters predicted a significant UK housing downturn over the next two years, citing rising interest rates following Liz Truss’s departure. Halifax expected an 8% drop, Savills predicted a 10% drop, and Nomura Bank forecast up to a 15% drop.
While these gloomy forecasts successfully grabbed headlines and generated clicks, the actual market data three years later tells a completely different story.
Estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh to discuss that according to the Land Registry, the reality has been far more resilient. UK house prices are 3.93% higher today than they were in January 2023. Locally, the picture is also one of stability rather than collapse, with Fife house prices being 11.64% higher than in January 2023.
Yet even with those statistics, now that we are starting 2026, I am again hearing the same nervous question being asked all over again. Newspaper reports on the run-up to Christmas 2025 stated that there were months when house prices were dropping and asking … with these drops, will 2026 be the year house prices crash?
