NRLA podcast: Selling with tenants in situ and the new Decent Homes Standard

Selling with tenants in situ is becoming increasingly popular according to new NRLA partner Landlord Property Exchange (LPE) and this month NRLA CEO Ben Beadle and Richard Blanco look at the pros and cons of this approach.

LPE founder James Donohue joins the team, along with landlord Sandra Towers who has sold a number of tenanted properties in this way, and said the approach can work well for all involved.

Hannah Kenyon, of the NRLA’s landlord support team, discusses the calls the association has been receiving on student tenancies, with the new academic year set to start in the coming weeks.

And, with the Government currently consulting on a new Decent Homes Standard for the sector Alan Davies, a chartered environmental health practitioner and Director of Housing at RRE global joins the show to talk about what this will mean for landlords, and the local authorities tasked with enforcing the new rules.

You can listen via the NRLA website here, or tune in on your preferred streaming service.
