Key figures from across the property sector are set to discuss the issues currently facing the lettings industry in a free webinar.

Hosted at 10am on Wednesday 22 February by CEO of Goodlord, William Reeve, webinar attendees will also hear from Robert Bolwell, senior partner at Dutton Gregory, and Megan Eighteen, business development manager at Haslams.

The panel will address the key obstacles facing the lettings industry. This includes the government’s policies to restrict landlords’ legal rights and raise taxes on property income and transactions – a growing set of pressures that many believe are adversely affecting housing affordability and leading to landlords leaving the market. 

The experts will also shed light on how landlords and agents can continue to thrive and find new opportunities in these challenging times, as well as protect their business models from future market shocks. 

Reeve commented: “Landlords and tenants are facing unsustainable pressures right now. We need government intervention and meaningful action that will build a sustainable, fair private rental sector for all stakeholders. This webinar will outline the challenges, but also point to the strategies to overcome them and opportunities for growth in the current climate.”

Robert added: “No agent or landlord is immune from the economic and regulatory pressures the market is currently facing. There’s a lot to contend with and I hope that this discussion provides valuable guidance on how to overcome some of the current hurdles. 

“There remains huge demand in the lettings market, so agents and landlords with the right approach and a sensible strategy can and will continue to thrive.”
