PDPLA Website Upgrade
After 18 months gestation, we are pleased to announce the PDPLA website has now been completely renewed. Hopefully members will just notice some style updates and minor improvements but under the covers we have jumped 10 years to modern technology with everything changed from the servers on which it runs right through to the tools used to create the content….
What is Different?
Hopefully the look and feel of the site is sufficiently similar to the old one that it all looks and feels familiar, yet it should also look more current and contemporary.
One big change you should notice, when you log in as a member, is that the 'member home' page now contains the latest news, the most recently added documents and forthcoming events all on one page along with links to some of our core resources such as our video channel. We hope this will become your 'Go To' place for any information and latest news of interest to local landlords.
What is Unchanged?
Your member login details should be the same as before and access is still pdpla.com for non-members or as a member you can go straight to pdpla.com/members – so do go there and bookmark it!
What should you do?
Carry on using it as before, do have a good look around and if you have any difficulty logging in as a member or find anything which is not working as you would expect, do contact Chris, our membership secretary at
Do let us know what you think:
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.
