Landlord Events

One of the most productive ways of building your lettings business and managed portfolio is to hold regular events aimed at landlords and investors.

Landlords and investors are interested in increasing their knowledge and want to keep up with the latest market trends and legislative requirements.

Landlord Events create opportunities to demonstrate your expertise through providing information that engages with the target audience of landlords and builds confidence and trust in your business.

Well organised and delivered Landlord Events help agents build positive relationships with landlords and therefore win more business and sell additional services. The value add to landlords that they provide, also helps increase fees and improve profitability.

Holding Landlord Events will help you stand out from the crowd and make you the letting and managing agent of choice, in what is often seen as, a sea of sameness.

Our experience shows that lettings and  management teams also benefit from improved knowledge, meeting their customers and clients and from the experience of presenting an event. 

Most letting and managing agents know this but never actually take action to run an event.

Why?

The reasons may be many and various but our research shows that a perceived lack of time coupled with not having a plan and concerns over creating relevant content often holds an agent back.

The answer is now here: The Landlord Event in a Box.

For a single fee, we will provide a detailed action plan including “cut and paste” templates for invites, marketing text and templates, follow ups etc. and, crucially, access to a library of regularly updated, legislatively correct, white labelled digital slideshow presentations and presenter notes that you can choose from to create the perfect Landlord Event.

The initial Landlord Event in a Box fee includes a Market Update digital slideshow template plus three digital slideshow presentations together with presenter notes. These can be selected from the library listed below. More than enough to hold your first successful event. All presentations are fully up to date with the latest legislation.

For example: The Renters Rights Bill passed through the House of Commons on 14th January 2025 and into the House of Lords. It is likely to become law and be implemented mid way through 2025. This legislation will have a huge impact on landlords (and agents) and provides a fantastic opportunity run an event and generate engagement with existing and potential landlords and investors. 

You can then choose additional digital slideshow presentations and presenter notes for future events at a unit cost of just £120 including VAT per presentation.

We are confident that having run your first event, you will want to run them regularly and to work with us to do so.

The Landlords Event in a Box product will still require action by you in sourcing and booking your local venue (or organising virtual webinar delivery) but our step by step guide to organising and running a successful event (including how you may mitigate or remove costs) takes the hard work out of the things that agents often find challenging and currently stop them from proceeding.
