Instead of our usual Christmas Social, we chose to gather for brunch at Southsea Marina this year (or last year, depending on when you're reading this). It was a wonderful occasion, enjoyed by all.

And the bad news

Unfortunately, much of the conversation had a "last year" tone. Some landlords have decided to call it a day, others are looking to sell their HMOs, and a few long-standing PDPLA members are stepping back. Allan, for example, has served on our committee for many years and has done an outstanding job managing Zoom and editing videos of our meetings over the past four or five years. His contribution has been invaluable.

We remain a large and active organisation, but we need more members to step forward and play their part. Our strength lies in supporting one another—when you need help, we're here, but that only works if everyone contributes. So if you're able to do more, please consider getting involved.

About the author

Martin Silman

Martin began his landlord journey 30 years ago, while working in an international role for a global telecommunications company. Since retiring he has extended his portfolio, which he manages with his wife, but has always focussed on the ‘small student HMO’ sector preferring to offer homes in the community for small groups to the more common ‘pack them in and take the money’ mentality. He has chaired the PDPLA for the past 12 years and has overseen the Associations transition from small local self-help group to a much larger and more professional institution which is recognised and listened to nationally. Alongside his PDPLA role, he also has leadership roles in a number of other local organisations – bringing his unique perspective, driving for change and increased use of technology while respecting the history that brought us here.
