 Southampton University - Housing Affordability event

 We have a speaker at this event on the 9th November and whilst it is probably more of academic interest, many members may wish to attend. This is the detail we have:

I'm writing as the Law School's research centre (Property and People) is holding an event on the morning of 9th November in Southampton as part of the University's 'Festival of Social Science'. The main theme for this year's festival is 'My local area' and our event will focus on housing affordability in the cost of living crisis and what, if anything, can be done about it.

We are planning on having talks from a variety of perspectives on housing affordability. There will be presentations from a range of experts on – the cost of housing - mediation with your landlord - what happens if you can't pay – illegal eviction - campaigning about affordability - what's happening elsewhere in the world - getting help - future strategies. There will be speakers from Southampton Law School and a range of stakeholders, campaigners and other academics.

Sadly, nothing to report at time of going to press - but our existing deal is available to all members, full details here.

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.
