🚨Landlords: Act NOW on the Renters' Rights Act!

With just weeks left until 31 May 2026, you MUST provide your tenants with the official Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet explaining the huge changes - like the ban on no-fault evictions - kicking in from 1 May. 🏠 🏠

Who needs it? Tenants on assured or assured shorthold tenancies created before 1 May 2026, with a written agreement (or partly written).

How? Send a hard copy or PDF attachment via email/text—NOT just a link! If you use a letting agent, they're responsible too.

Fail to do it? Face fines up to £7,000! 💴

AI is changing the way businesses work — from saving time on admin tasks to improving efficiency and decision-making. But while technology can be a powerful tool, relying on AI alone can be risky. It can get things wrong, miss important details, and lacks the personal understanding needed for many business decisions.

At Amherst Accountancy, we embrace technology that helps businesses work smarter, while providing the expert human advice and support our clients can trust.

The future may be AI-powered, but experience, judgement, and relationships still matter.

🚨 Attention Company Directors and PSCs 🚨

From November 18, 2025, it will be a legal requirement for all company directors and persons with significant control (PSCs) to verify their identity with Companies House under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. This initiative is part of a broader effort to prevent the misuse of UK companies.

What You Need to Do:

1. Verify Your Identity: Use the Companies House “Verify your identity” service via GOV.UK One Login.
2. Receive Your Unique Personal Code: This one-off code must be kept secure, as it is valid for all companies where you hold a role.
3. Share the Code with your agent, so they can continue to file for you with Companies House.

Important Reminders:

- Without this code, your Confirmation Statement will not be accepted.
- All directors must be verified before any Confirmation Statement due after November 18, 2025.
- Choose your GOV.UK One Login email carefully, as it will be crucial for future access.
- Ensure your personal details match those in Companies House records, or verification may fail.
- Directors of multiple companies only need to verify once but must use the same code for each entity.

Next Steps:
- Complete the biometric ID check ASAP.
- Keep your personal code secure.
- Share your code with your agent

Failure to comply may result in your company being at risk of non-compliance—a situation you want to avoid!

Thank you for your attention to this important matter!
