Eden council in Cumbria is hosting an event for landlords and managing agents to consider energy efficiency regulations, grants available in Eden and what the future holds for the private rented sector.

The session will cover the financial incentives available for landlords to make their properties more energy efficient, as well as to renovate empty houses. A summary of minimum energy efficiency regulations will also be given by the council’s experts.

The council says it is keen to work with landlords to support housing vulnerable residents, and will be giving a run-through of its Property Links programme and opportunities for landlords to get involved.

It will also look at the government’s white paper and how rental sector reforms may be implemented locally.

The event is being held on Wednesday December 7 from 5pm to 7pm at the Town Hall in Penrith.

Tickets are free but booking is essential. To secure your place, email [email protected] before Friday December 2.
