PLACES LIMITED AT FREE EVENT FOR LANDLORDS
Posted on 23/04/2008

LANDLORDS are being advised to book their places quickly for a specialist event being hosted by Charnwood Borough Council next week.
Places at the Landlords Fair, which is taking place at Loughborough Town Hall on Wednesday, April 30th, are now limited and anyone interested in picking up free advice on a range of new initiatives being provided by the Council should get in touch sooner rather than later.
The Authority‘s Strategic Housing and Health directorate, supported by DASH (Decent and Safe Homes), is hosting the event and is encouraging property owners who privately rent out accommodation and agents to attend.
Information on three new services being offered by the Council – Tenant Finder, Fresh Start and a Landlord’s E-Forum (Electronic Forum) website – will be available during the event, which takes place in Loughborough between 1.30pm and 6.30pm.
Tenant Finder helps landlords through the process of finding tenants through to signing the tenancy agreement, while Fresh Start will provide advertising space for property owners to sell their houses. The houses must have been empty for 6 months or more and must be in need of significant modernisation.
There will also be presentations between 2pm and 3pm on a regional Landlord Accreditation Scheme that may be introduced in Charnwood and forthcoming changes to Housing Benefit Payments.
Information on Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Licences, gas safety, insurance and mortgages will be available throughout the afternoon.
Cllr David Slater, Charnwood Borough Council’s Cabinet member for Housing and Health, said it promised to be a one-stop shop for landlords.
He added: “This promises to be a very informative event and I would encourage landlords to come along and find out more about these new initiatives being introduced in Charnwood.
“There will also be advice on everything a landlord needs to know about privately renting out properties and making the whole experience a less stressful one.
“So even if you can’t make the presentations, it will definitely be worth popping along to find out more.”
All landlords and agents are welcome to attend but are advised to book places in advance for the presentations between 2pm and 3pm by calling Russell Clarke, Charnwood Borough Council’s Homelessness Resources Officer, on Loughborough 634 937.
