Episode 52: Listen Up Landlords Live! Renters Rights, energy efficiency and investment

April marked a very special month for the Listen Up Landlords team, with our first LIVE podcast recording – complete with studio audience – at Manchester's MediaCity. Hot on the heels of our 50th episode earlier this year our team of expert speakers addressed all the major issues affecting the sector at the moment, from the impact of the impending Renters' Rights Bill to proposed new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. William Reeve, chief executive of Goodlord and Carlyn Jermyn, solicitor and chief executive of Woodstock Legal Services discussed the Renters' Rights Bill, with Anna Moore, chief executive of retrofit experts – and event sponsors – Domna and James Kent, chief innovation officer at the NRLA and founder of Safe2 taking on Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).    Experienced investor, developer and NRLA trainer Henry Davis and James Donohue of Landlord Property Exchange completed the line-up, looking at the health of the sector – and any up-and-coming investment hotspots. Fronted, as ever, by our presenters NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle and landlord Richard Blanco, the chat show-style discussion covered everything from how landlords could get caught out under the new Bill, to what you can do now to prepare for change up ahead – with the panel also answering questions submitted by NRLA members.
