Welcome to the PDPLA
We are an association of local landlords which aims to represent, educate and inform its members. We meet monthly to learn and share information important to local landlords and we represent our members needs and concerns to local and national government. There are approximately 4,000 private landlords in Portsmouth and this doubles when you add in the surrounding area – this is a large group of people, yet historically we are an easy target for the press, for regulation and for taxation. We cannot promise to change that, but together, we can try.

Capital and Labour in Modern Economic Theory: Implications for Property Investors and Managers
In the first of a series of articles on modern economic theory and how it affects landlords, we start with the basics of capital (owning stuff) and labour (doing stuff) as too often we come across people new to the business who believe capital can be created from thin air.
Venture Tower To Become Student Hall
A planning application (24/01089) has been submitted to convert Venture Tower to a 97 room student hall. We see this as a speculative application as Savills seek a buyer for the derelict property.
