Bath Landlord Conference: Insights, Updates, and Networking

Bath recently played host to an enlightening and insightful gathering for landlords, the Bath Landlord Conference, held at the prestigious Francis Hotel on 22nd November 2023. This event, spearheaded by Reside director and ARLA Propertymark Regional Executive Toby Martin, was an essential evening for landlords seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of property regulations and investment strategies.

The conference commenced with Toby Martin’s comprehensive overview of the local market, providing attendees with a concise summary of recent landlord regulations. These insights were crucial, particularly in light of the recent changes reshaping the landlord-tenant relationship.

A notable highlight of the event was Mike Hansom’s address. As a Consultant Solicitor at BLB Solicitors, Hansom delved into the intricacies of Section 8 evictions, a topic gaining prominence as Section 21 faces abolition under the Renters Reform Bill. His expertise demonstrated how tenancies will be ended by landlords in the future, offering clarity and understanding amidst the regulatory shifts.

Ellie Donaghy, a professional property investor, brought bundles of energy and passion to proceedings. Her invaluable insights and proven strategies for identifying and maximizing property investment opportunities left attendees inspired and equipped for success in their ventures.

The event, attended by approximately 40 local landlords, fostered an environment of learning and engagement, with many attendees remaining behind to network after the talks had finished.

Stay tuned for details on the next Bath Landlord Conference, set to be announced in the New Year. For landlords seeking to stay ahead in an ever-evolving market, future Bath Landlord Conferences are not to be missed.

Even though we didn’t end up renting a place through Reside, Chris and Lisa were so incredibly personable, helpful and welcoming. Would highly recommend and will be heading there when ready to buy. 🎉

The team at Reside could not have done more for me. They supported me throughout the whole process when at times I probably drove them mad. I am now in a lovely home and it’s very much thanks to Lisa and Emma.

My experience with Chris Gray was just perfect. An incredibly friendly individual that really did go above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. The whole experience was genuinely fun which says a lot for a process that can often be stressful! Don’t see myself moving again anytime soon but if I was to, I’d hope it’d be Chris helping me out again!

It has been a pleasure to have been able to do business with Reside Bath. Their people are highly efficient and utterly charming with it. I imagine that they can have few peers. I can recommend Reside Bath without reservation.

Reside were my letting agents for five years and were fantastic. They always looked after me and my tenants and made renting my flat stress free. I’d recommend them as the first choice for letting. I then marketed my flat for sale with them and they were great again. It was a frustrating and long process through no fault of Reside or Lisa, my agent. Lisa kept me informed throughout and was a good listener when things got tough. Thanks for getting me there! Claire

Had great service from Lisa and the team at Reside, while exploring properties in Bath. We were delighted with the flat we found. The process from viewing to moving in was extremely smooth, with Lisa resolving any queries at pace along the way.

Hello, and happy whatever day it is to you when you are reading this! ✨ My move to my new letting property with Reside was seamless. From the viewing, financials, help, and guidance, everything went through kindly, quickly, and with helpful attention. Chris, was especially helpful and I honestly felt prioritised as he could see how much the move meant to me due to being a dog owner. @Chris thank you again for everything, it really is much appreciated. ✨ Reside are instantly contactable and I cannot recommend them enough. I am a landlord myself, and I know the importance of such attention to detail and kindness. ✨ 10 out of 10, cannot recommend enough! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I contacted Lisa at Reside last week and arranged rental viewings in Bath. It was a seamless process from beginning to end. Lisa was extremely helpful and informative about the city and if I hadn't had an offer accepted on a purchase a few days later, would certainly have taken one of the properties she showed. Lisa was a breath of fresh air in addition to being professional and very knowledgeable about the local market. I can't recommend Reside or Lisa more strongly.
