Revenue recovered in 2025 with 4.1% growth to approximately \u00a337.7 billion, according to data from the property management firm.<\/p>\n<h2>Modest growth expected<\/h2>\n<p>Rushbrook &#038; Rathbone forecasts a further 0.7% increase in 2026, which would bring the total market value to \u00a338 billion. This represents approximately 26% growth over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion comes as landlords face increasing compliance requirements, including safety certification, tenancy deposit regulations, licensing schemes and energy efficiency standards. The forthcoming Renters\u2019 Rights Act is expected to add further complexity to property management operations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Roma Sharma, Managing Director at Rushbrook &#038; Rathbone, said the nature of property management has shifted considerably. \u201cManaging rental property today involves far more than collecting rent and arranging the occasional repair,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sector has become increasingly operational and compliance driven, with landlords needing to navigate complex legislation, coordinate maintenance and contractors, maintain accurate records, and respond to tenant needs often around the clock,\u201d Sharma added.<\/p>\n<h2>Market implications<\/h2>\n<p>The data suggests professional property management is transitioning from an optional service to a more essential requirement for landlords operating in the private rented sector. The sector\u2019s growth trajectory indicates sustained demand despite periodic market contractions, with regulatory pressures appearing to drive adoption of professional management services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK property management services sector is projected to reach \u00a338 billion in 2026, according to analysis by Rushbrook &#038; Rathbone, as landlords increasingly seek professional support amid growing regulatory requirements.
