Training webinars with Landlord Accreditation Scotland (LAS)

Training is an important part of managing properties and tenancies successfully. Landlord Accreditation Scotland are running webinars, sponsored by LPS Scotland, covering the key areas of Tenancy Management and Creating Inventories. Whether you’ve been in the industry 20 years or you’re managing your first tenancy, the webinars are suitable for all landlords and letting agents.

The Tenancy Management training will cover topics such as how best to communicate with tenants, the procedures to go through before starting a tenancy and how to administer your tenancy deposit. As well as important subjects such as equality, complaints and disputes, and how to deal with anti-social behaviour.

The webinar on Creating Inventories covers the information you need to avoid deposit disputes at the end of a tenancy. You’ll be guided through check-in and check-out reports, routine visits and inspections, as well as providing you with a framework for preparation of a inventory document and advice on how to use it at your final inspection.

The webinars take place throughout the year so keep an eye on forthcoming dates here.

Working with the Scottish Association of Landlords

This year we’ve had the pleasure of sponsoring and exhibiting at two of the biggest annual events in the Scottish Association of Landlords (SAL) calendar, April’s The Agency Business conference and the forthcoming National Landlord Day. As the body which represents the interests of all landlords and letting agents throughout Scotland, SAL is a key influence in the industry, and we are very pleased to support these key events.

The Agency Business Conference

Now in its fourth year, the Agency Business conference, held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, was bigger and better than ever.

We were very proud to sponsor this valuable event which brings together letting agents and other industry professionals from across Scotland to share ideas, experiences and good practice, and discuss developments in the industry. Predictably, the expected changes to legislation and regulation as a result of the passing of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 were the main talking point at this year’s event. 

The conference provided a great opportunity for us to catch up with our existing clients to find out their thoughts on industry news and what else we could be doing to support them. In addition, we really enjoyed meeting some agents who we hadn’t worked with prior to the event and talking to them about their needs and how we could help them with their deposit protection responsibilities. 

If you missed the conference, you can always catch up on some of the highlights of the day by watching SAL’s video, including our Head of Tenancy Deposit Protection, Daren, explaining why the Agency Business conference is so valuable to us. 

National Landlord Day

We’re now looking forward to National Landlord Day, the SAL’s major annual conference and exhibition, on 3 November this year. It’s the UK’s largest annual private sector housing conference and we’re delighted to be co-sponsors. Landlords and letting agents will gather at Edinburgh’s Dynamic Earth to discuss developments in the sector, seek advice from experts and enjoy a great programme of high profile speakers. 

We’ll be at stand 19 - do come and see us. You can test your dispute resolution skills with our ‘Be the adjudicator’ case study, enter our prize draw, or just have a chat about our service and what’s happening in the sector. We’re looking forward to meeting you there! To find out more, and book your place, please visit the SAL website.  

We look forward to collaborating with SAL on more projects in the future to help landlords and letting agents in Scotland with the best support possible.
