You’ve heard it before: The Renters (Reform) Bill is coming, timelines are uncertain, and you need to prepare. So what more is there to say?


The Renters (Reform) Bill gives a number of unique opportunities for agents to get ahead. Join the webinar and hear from Laura Tweedy at Gatehouse Chambers, Sean Hooker from the Property Redress Scheme and Goodlord’s, Oli Sherlock. They’ll go through ways you can take advantage of the bill - from winning new landlords to boosting your revenue.


What we’ll cover:

  • How agents and landlords feel about elements of the bill - and how you can win landlords round
  • Outcomes from the Second Reading - such as changes to the courts process - and implications of the Committee stage - such as  introducing a Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector.
  • Conservatives vs. Labour - current political views on the Bill, and what further changes to expect in 2024, with a possible General Election
  • How agents can take advantage of the bill - from reassuring your landlords to boosting revenue
  • Q&A
