PDPLA Landlords Breakfast - January 11th 2017
Our 2nd 'Landlords Breakfast' will be at 8.30am (until about 10am) on Wednesday January 11th and it will again be held at Watkins and Faux on the seafront (in the Southsea Tennis Club pavilion opposite the D-Day Museum and the Blue Reef Aquarium).
All local landlords and prospective landlords are welcome, whether or not they are members of the PDPLA or the RLA.
This is an informal networking event, allowing you to meet and chat to like minded individuals - and if you have a current problem, we will be surprised if one of our more experienced members does not have some input that will help.
At the last meeting, apart from enjoyable breakfasts ranging from the healthy (to extremely healthy, "I will just have an orange juice and a banana") to the full English, and a wide array of beautifully prepared beverages, discussions ranged from whether to buy and whether to sell specific properties, eviction proceedings, leasehold issues, how we conduct inspections during a tenancy and which versions of which forms we each use - so in that one session I think we hit many of the areas the average landlord has to worry or make a decision in a typical week.
So if you can make it, do come along if only to say Hi and Happy New Year! But if you have doubts or face challenges on any letting related topic, we hope that you will be able to get some useful answers over breakfast. What better way to start a day!
About the author
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.
