Scottish property portal ESPC has announced a free buy-to-let insights and advice event on Thursday 3 October, targeting aspiring property investors and current landlords.

The event will be held at ESPC’s Property Information Centre on Edinburgh’s George Street, and is aimed at those thinking about beginning or expanding a portfolio.

Free to attend and taking place between 6pm and 7.30pm, the event will include an overview of the current rental sector, as well as an interactive Q&A session where attendees can ask the professional panel any questions about property investment. 

Experts in attendance will include head of ESPC Lettings Nicky Lloyd, property expert Aileen Venables from Harper Macleod, and tax experts Kate MacDonald and Kerry MacBeth from RSM UK. 

Lloyd said: “It’s been almost six months since the new regulations came into effect for the Scottish rental market, and we know that for landlords and those hoping to join the sector, there are so many questions over the current and predicted status of the rental market, especially here in Edinburgh. 

“Our latest buy-to-let event will delve into the nuances of buy-to-let investment and is perfectly timed to provide information and answers on what it takes to make a success of property investment, whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned professional. 

“It’s a rare opportunity to gain free access to an array of property experts covering a broad range of need-to-know subjects, and we hope to see many current and aspiring investors in attendance.”

ESPC added that those interested in attending should RSVP via its website.
