Landlord Investment Show 13 April (Croydon)
he National Landlord Investment Show attracts visitors including letting agents, management companies, landlords (both
prospective and current), developers, property service providers and investors. It’s a road show that visits the UK’s buy-to-let hotspots that was launched in 2013, when it visited five locations. It has grown bigger each year and in April it returns to Croydon – one of 15 locations – for the fourth year in a row. The locations include four National shows - two in London, one in the Midlands and one in Manchester. The show aims to help those in the industry be
successful in the buy-to-let market, and organisers believe that to do this you need to be informed and aware of market trends. The show aims to connect landlords and investors with the industry’s top suppliers and hosts talks and seminars from expert speakers. It also offers visitors access to government bodies and associations. The venues are carefully chosen from research that shows where there is huge potential for
landlords. Each show is therefore tailored to its locations, focusing specifically on both the issues the area faces and the potential it holds. This includes new buy-to-let opportunities and the latest on development in the area. The show’s research also shows the local road shows attract those who are often too busy to attend national shows. Seminars and talks will cover a variety of areas
relating to landlords, such as taxation, legislation, evictions and legal issues, finance and buying at auction. The shows also offer a morning networking event - a half an hour slot before the show begins dedicated to allowing you to meet new like-minded people who are based locally. Attendees to the show will also gain five CPD points towards their landlord accreditation. The Croydon show is open from 9am - 3.30pm
and tickets are free. For a full list of dates and venues for the show, seminar details, a timetable for the day and to book tickets for any of the events, please visit the website.
