The Taxation Of Residential Property with Mark Stemp, Private Client Tax Partner at Crowe UK

Mark will provide a beautifully succinct overview of everything you need to know about residential property and tax in four digestible nuggets: acquiring property, holding property, selling property and death.  A must for established landlords needing an update and a great introduction for newer investors.

Shared Houses In Your Portfolio with NRLA Representative, Richard Blanco

Many of us have shared house rather than bedsit HMOs.  What are the pros and cons of this type of investment and what should you know about the regulatory requirements around fire safety, licensing and article 4?   Financing can be tricky too as lenders have different definitions of HMOs.  How do you find and keep the best young professionals - or would you target a different market?  Richard will offer some top tips on how you can streamline management, especially tenant swaps, and keep profitability strong.    

The Enforcement Lottery - An interview with Samantha Watkins, NRLA Policy Officer

Richard will interview Samantha about her latest report which investigates whether local authorities are carrying out the enforcement work that they are mandated to do.  She finds that only 16 out of 45 local authorities with selected licensing schemes actually keep a proper record of complaints and enforcement.  Find out what recommendations she is making to government and how Barking and Dagenham performs compared to other councils across England.
