    Which Way Forward For Your Property Business?

    Landlords and property professionals in the UK are faced with an unusual convergence of economic, market and regulatory issues. Rising interest rates and inflation, possible recession and the end of the house price cycle are all in view. Yet whilst house prices and lettings activity are currently surging, landlords face a number of regulatory changes. The abolition of no fault eviction and new minimum energy efficiency standards are top of the list – and the government has recently sprung a National Landlords Register, Ombudsman, Decent homes standard and Property portal on landlords in England – all with minimal detail and adding to the uncertainty. Join David Cox, Legal & Compliance Director at Rightmove and Hertfordshire based portfolio landlord and campaigner, Jamie Fraser for some plain-speaking and forthright opinions in a lively discussion with Richard Blanco

  5. Short Term Lets

    05/10/2019

    Short Term Lets

    Most of us associate short term lets with AirBnB.  But holiday lets, villas and all kinds of serviced accommodation make this a much more diverse arena.  Far from competing with hotels, there is increasing convergence with other hospitality sectors.  How can landlords finance or switch to these kind of investments and what are the management challenges?  What is the broader impact of this rapidly growing area on our communities and is existing regulation transparent, fair and adequate?  Richard Blanco is joined by Fiona Veitch, Marketing Director from AirBnB partner and letting agent, Portico, Merilee Karr from the Short Term Accommodation Association and MD of Under The Doormat and Chris Poulter from the Serviced Accommodation Podcast.  Photo is from pictureperfectholidays.com

    Happy Endings - How To End A Tenancy Well

    The inventory and return of the deposit are key aspects of being able to end a tenancy well – but what if the tenant is in arrears or has breached the contract?

  8. Letting Agent Reform

    10/02/2019

    Letting Agent Reform

    Letting Agents are facing a raft of regulatory changes in 2019. From April they must have a dedicated bank account and insurance for clients’ money and tenant fees will be banned from June 2019. Meanwhile the government has asked a working group to consider compulsory training and trade body membership plus the establishment of a regulatory body. What is morale like amongst letting agents and how will the sector change in the coming years? Enforcement will be down to trading standards, but will they have the resources? And are these changes a real victory for the consumer? Richard Blanco is joined by David Cox, CEO of Arla Propertymark, Fiona Exley from London Trading Standards and Business Transfer Agent, Adam Walker.
