If you are worried about the ever-increasing burden of regulation and despair of ever getting your head around it all – the Landlord Law Conference (sponsored by TDS) is here again to help you.
On Friday 18 May 2018
We will reconvene at the fabulous Sprowston Manor Hotel and Country Club for a day of learning and enjoyment. Let’s take a look at the learning first. As usual, we have ten half-hour talks (long enough to be useful, short enough to keep your interest) as follows:
The Year in Review – housing barrister Sam Madge Wyld’s overview of regulation changes and new case law over the past year and a quick look into the future at what is to come
Rent to Rent, pitfalls and procedure – rent to rent is popular but can be tricky and sometimes disastrous. Solicitor and RLA director of policy David Smith gives us a guide.
Tenancy Agreements and the Courts – housing barrister Peter Marcus was one of the most popular speakers last year. This year he turns his attention to tenancy agreements
Letting Agent Regulation – ARLA CEO David Cox comes back to take us through the main developments that agents need to know about, including no doubt the tenant fee legislation.
Tax Update – Philip Hunt of Aston Shaw accountants will be looking at any recent tax changes and giving advice for landlords
Tenancy Deposit Adjudications – always popular, in this talk by TDS Director of Dispute Resolution Mike Morgan gives tips and guidance on how to get the best results
HMO Update – the HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) regulations will be changing in October and in his second talk, David Smith will be bringing us up to date with this and any other new HMO related developments
Avoiding problems with Section 21 – Housing Barrister Robert Brown will be taking us through the latest legal changes and giving guidance on how to comply with all the new rules
Unlawful Eviction and the Courts – In his second talk, Peter Marcus will be looking at the penalties and problems when landlords fail to follow the proper eviction procedures
Identifying Rental Fraud – our own Ben Reeve Lewis returns to Conference with some stories from the seamy side of renting.
Other Conference Benefits
Everyone always agrees that the conference is a great day out. It’s a time to meet new people and make new friends.
Maybe over lunch? The Sprowston Manor provided the best lunch we have ever had at our conferences last year – a sit down hot and cold buffet – very welcome after a busy morning.
You will also get our Conference Handbook – a valuable item in itself as it has our speaker’s detailed notes so you don’t forget anything.
Then there are the exhibitors. TDS, our lead sponsors, of course, are there to answer any deposit related questions. However, we also have solicitors Anthony Gold, accountants Aston Shaw, ARLA, the Property Redress Scheme, the Bank of Scotland, MW FInance, Envirovent, and the Eastern Landlords Association not to mention insurers Total Landlord Insurance and Alan Boswell Group.
NB If your firm caters to landlords / letting agents we still have room for one or two more exhibitors – see here.
Learning and laughter
Landlord Law Conference is a serious training event but its also a fun day and some of the speakers can be quite funny! The venue is also rather lovely and being surrounded by grass and trees helps give a good atmosphere.
Although sometimes perceived as being remote, Norwich is in fact only two hours by train from London. If you prefer to drive there is a huge free car park for delegates. If you live at a distance – why not stay over? The hotel is four star, has its own golf course, swimming pool and sauna, and we have negotiated special rates for delegates. Plus we always arrange a ‘night before’ meal where you can meet the organisers, other delegates and some of the speakers and exhibitors.
We look forward to welcoming you to our 2018 Conference.
