Landlord Events

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

Landlords 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 organized 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 also 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.

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: in 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 Powerpoint 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 Powerpoint template plus three Powerpoint presentations together with presenter notes. These can be selected from the library listed below. Enough to hold your first successful event.

The new Labour Government held their first budget on 30th October 2024 – alongside proposed legislative changes, this has provided a great opportunity to create interest amongst landlords by planning an event as they will all have vested interests in what was announced. We already have an updated presentation on the key elements for your use.

You can then choose additional Powerpoint 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.
