I hope you have been enjoying our weekly webinars with Landlord Law Conference Exhibitors?
Yesterday I set up the first webinar for after the Conference. I am going to be doing two types –
- Interviews – which will then go online on this blog for everyone to watch
- Learn at Lunchtime webinars with me giving training on specific topics – the recordings of these will only be available for +plus Landlord Law members.
You can now sign up for the first of the Learn at Lunchtime webinars which is going to be on tenancy agreements. But before that we have two more interviews – one with Joanna White this week and next week an interview with David Cox of ARLA. Sign up to all the webinars here.
