Last year brought about major political changes in the UK. Amongst many pledges by the UK's new government, the following are certain to have a significant impact on commercial real estate for the years to come:

  • supporting more housing and infrastructure across the country through reforms of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF); and
  • advancing the carbon net zero target through reforms of the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) regime

Reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

One of the first tasks attended to by the new government was launching a consultation on the proposed reforms to the NPPF which we reported on fully in the following article Planning reform: what to expect from the new Government plans? – Clarkslegal LLP.

Section 21 has been abolished for new possession action from 1 May 2026, but landlords who need to sell with vacant possession still have a route. Ground 1A of the amended Housing Act 1988 allows a landlord to recover possession where a genuine sale is intended, but it comes with a four-month notice period, restrictions on reletting and remarketing, and potentially significant penalties for misuse.
