Housing minister Eddie Hughes – the politician leading for the government own the renters’ Reform Bill – will be the keynote speaker at the inaugural National Landlord Conference.

Hosted by the National Residential Landlords Association in partnership with Landlord Law, the conference – n November 15 – will focus on the future of the private rented sector and will be chaired by veteran personal finance journalist Paul Lewis.

In addition to majoring on the new legislation, the conference will also provide guidance on how landlords can best respond to a renewed government push to improve the energy efficiency of rented housing. 

Among the speakers addressing this topic will be Derek Horrocks, chair of the National Insulation Association.

Other speakers include Justin Bates, a leading barrister specialising in housing law at Landmark Chambers, who will speak on what planned legislative changes in the sector mean for landlords.

The conference will take place at the Coventry Building Society Arena – details join the conference website.

 

Ben Beadle, chief executive of the National Residential Landlords Association, says: “We are pleased that the minister has agreed to speak at our first national conference and would encourage landlords and letting agents to use this opportunity to question him on the government’s plans for the sector. 

“It’s important that he is able to hear from first-hand experience about what is happening on the ground to ensure planned changes really do work for landlords as well as tenants.”
