Our Conference on Thursday went really well, although Graeme and I are still feeling rather shattered. The seven hour drive back to Norwich did not help!
Thank you to everyone who came along and help make it such a success. It is so lovely to meet and talk to Landlord Law Blog readers – and know that people do actually read it!
My next project is the webinar on Thursday which is the first of my free ‘Learn at Lunchtime’ webinars.
This one is going to be on ‘Tenancy agreements, myths and misconceptions’. I will also be happy to answer as many questions as I can (about tenancy agreements) during the half hour. So please do come along
