With a raft of legislation change set to turn the way we do business on its head, you can’t afford to miss the NRLA’s annual UK Housing Conference 2025, which is coming to Liverpool this autumn. Chief Executive Ben Beadle explains more.
The months and years ahead are set to be a period of seismic change for landlords.
The Renters’ Rights Bill, changes to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and the roll out of the Government’s Making Tax Digital scheme – plus rumoured tax changes in the Autumn budget – will all place extra pressure on landlords, heralding a new era for the private rented sector (PRS).
This is where the NRLA comes in.
Promising to be bigger and better than ever, our fourth annual housing conference, sponsored by Total Property, comes at a crucial time for the rental sector, offering you the helping hand you need to navigate the changes up ahead and equipping you with the knowledge and strategies to approach this new chapter with confidence.
TV icon and property powerhouse Sarah Beeny will be one of our headline speakers, sharing her decades of experience the NRLA’s UK Housing Conference this autumn in a one-on-one interview with me on the main stage at Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre.
The star of countless shows including Property Ladder, Double Your House for Half the Money, Help! My House is Falling Down as well as Sarah Beeny’s Restoration Nightmare and Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country, she has a vast array of knowledge, both as a developer and investor and an entrepreneur.
Famed for her straight-talking style, she will look back on her property journey and share her smart strategies for success when it comes to getting the most from your portfolio.
She will also reflect on the changes up ahead for the private rented sector – and the challenges and opportunities that will come with them.
We’re delighted to add Sarah to the conference line-up, just weeks after we announced award-winning business journalist and presenter Steph McGovern will be hosting the event, on 5th November, with our keynote speaker to be revealed soon.
What else can I expect?
The conference programme will include all very latest when it comes to investment advice and market trend data from trusted and experienced industry experts, with panel discussions on everything from legal reform and legislative change to sustainability and energy efficiency, housing conditions and tenant rights.
We will also host what promises to be a fascinating session on innovation in the housing sector, examining how emerging new tech is reshaping the rental landscape, and how to harness it to benefit your business, saving you time and money.
With a light breakfast, lunch and other refreshments included in the ticket price there will be ample networking opportunities and the chance to find out more about the services offered by the NRLA’s commercial partners and suppliers, covering everything from mortgage advice and insurance to effective property management, in our packed exhibition hall.
Now in its fourth year, our conference has gone from strength to strength since the inaugural event in 2022. Previous speakers have included then-Housing Secretary Michael Gove, former Dragon’s Den star James Caan CBE, and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.
