Street Development Updates for April 2026

A guide on the April 2026 development updates

Written by Elliot Palmer

Lettings updates

Renters' Rights Act Conversion Tool

From 1 May 2026, Assured Shorthold Tenancies in England are abolished. Every qualifying AST automatically becomes an Assured Periodic Tenancy, and you're legally obliged to notify every tenant of the change. A banner on the Tenancies page surfaces the work. Street.co.uk identifies every eligible tenancy, including those with active renewals where no decision has been made. Run the conversion and each tenancy gets a new assured periodic term beginning 1 May, with the existing fixed-term end date becoming the next rent review date. Tenancies where a renewal decision is already in place are left for you to update manually.

Note - The Renters' Rights Act conversion tool was removed in June 2026, following the government conversion deadline passing. The conversion tool feature is no longer available in Street.

Statutory leaflet bulk send

Send the government's statutory information sheet to every affected tenant from the Tenancies table in one go. A missing email address report makes the gap obvious before you send. For tenants you can't reach by email, a manual-service option lets you mark the leaflet served by post or in person.

Conversion audit trail

A conversion report captures exactly what was converted and who received what.

From the Reporting section, look for the Converted Tenancies Report in the lettings section.

Notice Served and All Rent Reviews tabs

Two new tabs on the Rent Reviews table, so you get the full picture in one view instead of running three filters.

Client Accounting updates

Accounting Dashboard

Your agency's full financial position, on one screen. Rent arrears broken down by age band. Funds waiting to allocate against owners and tenancies. Payments due to owners, contractors and tenants. Unpaid contractor and outstanding owner and tenant invoices. Expected monthly rent and management fee with month-on-month comparison. And a live feed of recent payments updating as they land. The kind of view that shifts how you start a Monday morning, priorities visible before you've opened a single report.

For more information, see our Accounting Workflow help article.

Search within a ledger

Cut the scroll on high-volume records.

From any ledger, use the search box at the top right.

Sales updates

Matching applicants on valuations

Upcoming valuations now show matching applicant counts, split into proceedable and non-proceedable, pulled from your pre-val research. An old favourite that had to be retired for performance reasons. It's back, re-engineered, and on by default. Walk into every pitch knowing who's already waiting to buy.

For more information, see our Pre Valuation Research help article.

Minimum and preferred bathrooms on applicants

Bathrooms can now be captured against sales and lettings applicants, with minimum and preferred values, and matching takes both into account. Admins can mark bathrooms as mandatory at registration for cleaner data from the start.

For more information, see our Creating a Sales Applicant / Lettings Application help articles.

Preferred name

Add a preferred name to any person record and Street uses it wherever that person appears. Legal documents keep the legal name by default, and so do emails, swap the merge field to use the preferred one.

For more information, see our Preferred Names help article.

Points of Contact

Add a spouse, family member or trusted representative as a point of contact on any property. They get Client App access and every automated update. They never appear on AML checks, merge fields or legally binding documents.

For more information, see our Point of Contact help article.

PIQ manual override

Mark a Property Information Questionnaire as complete from the property page when an owner can't or won't finish it. Add an optional note and file, and both the PIQ card and onboarding workflow step stay in sync. Undo it and you're offered the option to re-send the PIQ request at the same time.

For more information, see our PIQ help article.

Client App updates

Automatic account merging

Correcting an email typo to an address already in Street now merges the consumer's accounts in the background once they accept. No duplicates, no support ticket.

For more information, see our Updating a Client's Email Address help article.

Self-service account deletion

Consumers manage their own accounts from settings.

Landlord portfolio accounting on the app

Portfolio finances on the go.

For more information, see our Statement and Payment Advice (Consumer App) help article.

Agent demo mode for buyer tasks

Walk clients through the app without touching live data.

AML tasks hidden from Points of Contact

Consumers only see the tasks that actually apply to them.

For more information, see our Point of Contact help article.

Partner Platform updates

Set Reminders on referrals

Brokers schedule a reminder on any referral and Street.co.uk emails them on the chosen day.

Back to Referrals

A back button that remembers the page and the filters you were on, so you don't lose your place after clicking into a referral.

Reporting

A new page showing where referrals came from and how they're performing.

Smoother sign-in

The sign-in flow got a tune-up so brokers stop bouncing off the redeem-invites page when they mean to log in.

Sharpenings across the CRM

    • Type @all in a note to notify every user in the associated branch, with a fallback to your own branch when the entity has none.

  • Lead rating filter on applicants

    • Filter the applicant table by how warm they are.

  • Global search ranking tweak

    • Valuations now rank above completed and exchanged properties, so you land on the record you actually want.
