Richard Bowser – Editor of Property Investor News

“The organising team did a great job in putting on their first event for local landlords in Croydon and I have no doubt that the upcoming event in Brighton will be a real success. Good location, good exhibition layout and with some good speakers all gave the attending landlords an event which am sure they will come along to next year”.

Virgin Money – Carla Samuels

“Thank you for inviting us to exhibit at the Surrey Landlord Property Investment Show. This has been an excellent experience and we have made some solid contacts thanks to your expertise and running such a successful and professional event. We wish you every success with your future shows and hope to exhibit again”.

Alan Boswell Group – Chris Greaves

“Having attended the Surrey Roadshow, we will certainly be committing to the remaining shows. Well organised & well attended. The shows had a very professional feel and struck the perfect balance between sales and information. A must for anyone involved with let property”.

Marie Parris MD of George Ellis Property Services

“As an exhibitor and speaker at the first Local Landlord Property Investment Show – George Ellis Property Services were pleased to have participated. The entire day to evening charity gala was organised seamlessly and profits went to support a worthwhile course. Our seminar was standing room only and we enjoyed the entire day that went by extremely quickly as we liaised with many visitors who attended the show throughout the day. For any service provider who is considering getting on board as an exhibitor, I would highly recommend it”.

Ian Notermans (Landlord/Investor)

“A great show, well worth the time to attend. The seminars were very informative, you can always learn something new. Also a good opportunity to network with like-minded people”.

Dssmove.co.uk, the lettings property portal which advertises property available for LHA tenants, has just signed up four new online letting agents including Upad.co.uk – the UK’s largest online letting agent, Tenansts4.co.uk, iigloo.co.uk and Makeurmove.co.uk.

Dssmove.co.uk now features over 2,500 properties available for LHA tenants and has seen a 85 per cent increase in letting agent and landlord sign ups over the last three months. Leads to agents and landlords are also up over the last six months and web traffic has increased by 500 per cent last four months.

Aki Elahi, Founder of Dssmove.co.uk commented: “We are delighted to be working with the UK’s leading online letting agents. We are generating high demand for LHA properties in London and the South East, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, so the additional stock feeds we are receiving from these online agents has come just at the right time.

“We are genuinely surprised by the shortage of LHA properties in parts of the UK and we are working hard to bring on more agents and landlords. For many inner city locations, there is a higher rent yield for LHA tenants than for private tenants, so letting agents have the opportunity to secure more profit in a market where their commissions are heavily under pressure.

James Davis, CEO Upad.co.uk comments: “More and more landlords are recognising the commercial benefits of letting to LHA tenants and see that they are not bad for business. Over the last 12 months, we have seen a significant rise in the number of properties available for LHA tenants and we see this as a growing trend over the next 2-3 years.
“Dssmove.co.uk has cornered the market and is providing a niche service which is not offered by the big property portals, which make it almost impossible for tenants to search for LHA properties.“

Dssmove.co.uk is a property portal, open to both landlords & letting agents and is free of charge. Dssmove.co.uk works with over 600 landlord and lettings agents nationwide and has over 2,500 properties on its site. The site also has over 30,000 visitors a month.

For further information call 01902 773949 or visit www.Dssmove.co.uk.

Dssmove founder Aki Ellahi is a very experienced landlord and letting agent who has worked with tenants in affordable housing for over 30 years. He also owns Wolverhampton-based letting agency, Rent Me Now – http://www.facebook.com/rentmenow

Dssmove.co.uk is totally free for tenants to use to search for properties to rent. A dedicated version of the portal can be accessed from anywhere via a smartphone – www.m.dssmove.co.uk. This allows tenants who don’t have fixed internet access to use the service from their mobile phone.

Significant research undertaken while developing Dssmove.co.uk shows mobile phone searches are becoming increasingly popular for people on housing benefit looking for properties.

Dssmove.co.uk will help people who will be adversely affected by the recent Welfare Reform Act. Those forced to move property because of the impending so-called ‘bedroom tax’ now have an alternative way of finding a new home. Conversely, letting agents who welcome those on housing benefit can now promote their properties to prospective tenants from anywhere in the UK.

LandlordZONE are proud online media partners for these events!

Tracey Hanbury Director of Tenants History explains, “As Landlords ourselves we started our journey 12 years ago and purchased our first H.M.O. When we started there was no real service out there that was able to point us in the right direction as to where a good investment area was, what were the latest developments on offer and what the future plans were for an area in terms of employment, transport & retail developments. With the buy-to-let market rising and so many embarking on becoming  Landlord’s our shows can give them all the information on why it’s a great time to invest into that “hot spot” area and introduce Landlords who want to expand their portfolios and also help those just beginning their journey.

Landlord Action, in association with Property118.com has been investigating the possibility of legal action against the Bank of Ireland. Landlord Action director (and solicitor) Justin Selig has now obtained expert opinion that such an action would have good chance of success. The investigation was started with landlords in mind but the legal action will include residential mortgage holders too.

Thousands of landlords are about to see their mortgage payments double, or even triple, after the Bank of Ireland (BOI) and Bristol and West wrote to those who took out tracker rate mortgages prior to 31st October 2004, advising that they would be increasing their margin over bank base rate.

Buy-to-let and residential mortgage holders are incensed because they believed that they were on lifetime tracker mortgages paying a fixed margin over the Bank of England base rate. Landlords began discussing the issues on the Property118 forum and Landlord Action stepped up to investigate on their behalf.

The Bank of Ireland and their subsidiary Bristol & West wrote to borrowers to inform them that the increased payments take effect from 1st May 2013. Other than that, they have been very quiet over the matter.

Landlord Action is advising anyone with a Bank of Ireland or Bristol & West tracker-mortgage (buy-to-let or residential) and who has received a letter from them in February 2013 notifying them of the hike, to join the action. So far almost 300 mortgage holders have requested the forms to sign up.

Joining costs just £100+VAT. You will get advice, prepared letters of complaint and by joining together you will add to (and benefit from) the power of a group. To join with others, contact justin@landlordaction.co.uk

Landlord Action is a UK based organisation helping landlords and property professionals deal with problem tenants.

Founded in 1999 as the first ever fixed-fee tenant eviction specialist, they revolutionised this area of legal practice. They have acted in 20,000 problem tenant cases and are considered the authority in this field. Unlike solicitors, Landlord Action will not act for tenants, only landlords and property companies.

Landlord Action run a free advice line to help landlords and property professionals understand their rights: 0333 240 9767 www.LandlordAction.co.uk

Paul Shamplina is one of the key founders of Landlord Action with 25 years experience in the legal field. He has previously worked as a legal clerk, private investigator, debt collector and certified bailiff.

He has appeared regularly on TV and radio and lectures across the UK at landlord seminars and events and still works full time in the office, heading up the team of advisors.

Paul believes passionately in the rights of the landlord and is always available for comment on any landlord/tenant matters.

Property Network announced today it will open a new office in Leeds to accommodate for new staff additions, employed due to unprecedented demand for its service. Sohail Rashid founded Property

Network less than three years ago, yet by the end of the year it will employ over fifty people.

Property Network is set to compete with Rightmove and Zoopla by being the only social network for home movers and property professionals. It will use social incites from Facebook to source the most appropriate home for a user’s work and lifestyle.

Despite the recession, Mr Rashid has raised considerable funds to expand Property Network and Youseph Hedar, ex-Chief Officer of Green Flag, was brought in to assist with the growth of operations and to help deliver this exciting concept.

Mr Hedar said, “In 2010 we only had one employee and for us to have come this far this quickly is evidence of what a great idea Property Network is. Moving into our new offices will mean we have a great environment for this exciting and innovative company to develop.”

After recently securing a seven figure investment Property Network has secured a long term lease on the old offices of Dacre Son & Hartley, one of Yorkshire’s oldest standing Estate Agents.

Property Network supports over 7,000 estate agents across the UK who are now able to profile their 700,000 properties across social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
