KNOWLEDGE IS POWER: LANDLORDS, ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?
Landlords across the UK are being urged to prepare for a transformation of the Private Rental Sector (PRS), as the government moves forward with significant reforms, including the Renters’ Rights Bill, Making Tax Digital, and a digital transformation of the property market through Proptech.
These sweeping changes, combined with the ongoing housing supply crisis and a need for property investment, make one thing crystal clear: landlords and property professionals need education now more than ever. Stay informed and register for your free ticket here for our Summer Spectacular Show on 9th July in London, Old Billingsgate, for a day of education.
The UK’s PRS provides homes to more than 11 million people, and it’s undergoing a fundamental shift aimed at tightening professionalism across the sector. The era of the so-called "amateur landlord" has long gone, and for good reason. At the National Landlord Investment Show, our mission has always been to ensure that landlords, property investors, and anyone accountable for providing housing have access to the knowledge and expert resources they need to stay compliant and professional. If you're going to be responsible for providing homes, you need to be professional in doing so.
This mission takes us back to the roots of why we founded the National Landlord Investment Show.
Back in 2013, Steve Hanbury and I were young landlords, navigating the challenges of managing our property business. We quickly realised we lacked the knowledge and access to expert services necessary to grow and run our portfolio professionally. It became clear that staying informed and connected to industry professionals was not optional; it was essential for managing and thriving within the UK property sector. And so, the National Landlord Investment Show was born and with it was our growing community of landlords and property professionals who have grown with us over the years.
Are You Ready for Change?
Applying a theory of change, the first step in adapting is understanding what’s changing. It’s difficult to adjust your property business practices and strategy without first being fully informed. That’s why the theme for our upcoming 9th July Show at Old Billingsgate, London, is focused on providing free, expert-led education to help landlords and property professionals stay up to date and better equipped to respond to change. Register for your free ticket to secure your place today.
In line with the theory of change, once you have access to the right information, you’re in a stronger position to make informed decisions and take appropriate steps to adapt.
This will be our biggest and most dynamic show yet, with one powerful objective: “To provide property professionals with the education, support, and community needed to prepare for the sector's future.”
The National Landlord Investment Show Summer Spectacular is not just another property exhibition; it’s a hub of education and empowerment for landlords and property professionals, offering:
