Over recent months we have heard much talk of the governments 10-point climate change plan and have seen elements of it, such as the introduction of the Green Homes Grant (see our comments on that here). This month, we finally have the full list of 10 areas of focus. Read on for our explanation of the plan and what it means, if anything, for landlords.
So in summary, not much new news here and little new investment – but if the UK can move forward in these areas and set a good example of next years global summit, then it is to be commended overall. When it comes to housing, there is much to be done and unfortunately no articulate focal groups to move the issue forward. Maybe we rely on government for direction and leadership to often and this is an area where we just have to get on with it, conversely the total lack of evidence on what actually is best practice is holding things back, but more on that next month….Enter your text here ...
Martin began his landlord journey 15 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 6 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.
