The event got underway with an update from Karl Tidman, of NRLA partner 3mc NRLA Mortgages. Karl shared his thoughts and predictions around the buy-to-let market and current trends and interest rates.

Then, Linda Cobb OBE, Principal Manager at DASH Services gave an update on changes relating to the Decent Home Standard.

After the break, delegates then heard from NRLA CEO Ben Beadle.
