A lot going on this month, so hopefully something of interest for everyone in this newsletter whether your interest be Airbnb, Green funding, HMO's, Student Halls, Tax, the new TradePoint discount or the University position on Covid. Read on…
If you have not planned your transition to providing carbon neutral housing yet – now is the time to start. Firstly, if you have an EPC band E property you really need to get moving and if the tenant's income is less than £30K pa, then you can get up to £10K funding to help – see the item on LADS for detail. Have a C or D and wondering where to go next, Warren has some thoughts on that – maybe it is time to sell or better still, listen to Andrea at our next meeting.
And finally, it may be hidden away in 'Other News' but do look at the Portsmouth Transport Strategy – the success or otherwise of our city and thus our businesses is dependant upon the ability of the city to live and thrive, and it cannot do that if the streets are gridlocked and/or we are paying for multiple schemes which have little real benefit. So do have your say. And talking of grid lock, do look at the road closures in the same section.
