So here we are in 2014. Last year was not bad I suppose but here’s hoping this year will be better.
We have certainly got going with our training company Easy Law Training, and now have three workshops you can sign up for on various topics, an online training course and of course the Conference.
You can read about them all via the main School for Landlords wesbsite.
