Local Landlords Learn About Electronic Signatures

At our January members meeting our Vice Chairman Alwin Oliver regaled members with his experience using electronic signatures - he talked of massively reduced printing costs, zero postage, major time savings, improved audit trails and same day responses on guarantor paperwork.

Obviously, we did not believe a word - how could so many benefits be obtained from such a simple change?

Alwin answered that question and took us through the history and legality, the benefits and some of the options and discsuused who was most likely to benefit. His full presentation can be viewed in the PDPLA members area here. 

He also recommended two YouTube videos:

- The first shows how to send a document for signature, see it on YouTube here.

- The second shows how to use pre-fill, see it on YouTube here.

Both videos are less than 2 minutes and show very clearly how simple it can be to use electronic signature.

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.
