Having got the work on the new ‘right to rent’ content out of the way, I have been free to go back to working on our Consumer Law online course which is finally now online.
This is the film footage of a workshop with David Smith last year and is quite one of the most important online training courses we have run.
The statutes and regulations described by David are often little known and frequently ignored but there are substantial penalties for non-compliance. The course is aimed at letting agents but will also be useful for landlords and advisors.
You will find it here.
