Former England footballer turned TV pundit and property expert Dion Dublin is to headline this month’s South East Property Expo.

The centre forward – who played for Manchester United, Aston Villa and Coventry City among others – is keynote speaker at the free event for homebuyers, sellers, developers, investors, landlords and anyone with an interest in property.

Held annually, the not-for-profit expo organised by law firm Thackray Williams attracts hundreds of guests, with past speakers including TV adventurer Ben Fogle and consumer champion Dom Littlewood.

Dublin leads a line-up of industry experts sharing the tips and tricks of the trade this year including buy to let mentor Dan Coachafer; John-Paul Rafferty, who has spent 20-plus years in the industry as an estate agent, mortgage advisor, landlord and developer; and ‘professional organisers’ Hayley Harrison and Gemma Abraham, who specialise in decluttering, de-stressing and redesigning homes.

Roger McKerlie, founder and co-owner of the Environmental Business Network, and Marion Money from the National Residential Landlords Association are also among the speakers.

Sean Sanders, managing partner at Thackray Williams, says: “The expo is now in its fifth year and is a must for anyone with an interest in property, from first time buyers right through to experienced developers.

“Guests tell us they always learn something new and the line-up is so varied that I know there will be something for everyone.”

The event is on September 19 at The Bat & Ball Centre, Sevenoaks.

Day passes are free and available from the South East Property Expo website.
