London-based estate agency and part of the Campions Group, Chestertons, has strengthened its landlord support ahead of the upcoming Renters’ Rights Act by securing official accreditation for its specialist training programme, The Changing Rental Landscape, from the Continuing Professional Development Certification Services.
The programme is thought to be the first in the UK estate agency sector to gain CPD accreditation specifically focused on the new legislation. This recognition reinforces Chestertons’ commitment to delivering advice to landlords through verified professional standards.
Accreditation was granted after the training met strict requirements in structure, relevance, and quality of delivery. Landlords can now be confident that Chestertons’ teams hold verified, current knowledge to navigate one of the most significant regulatory changes in the private rental sector in recent years.
The achievement reflects Chestertons’ broader investment in professional development across its lettings network. In 2025, the agency delivered 46 dedicated Renters’ Reform Bill training sessions, equipping teams to support both landlords and tenants during the regulatory transition.
The CPD recognition signals that Chestertons’ staff are prepared to address the practical and legal challenges that landlords face as the Renters’ Rights Act comes into effect.
