Stop this unnecessary rental loss by challenging DWP!Consultancy sessions and bespoke training courses for Private Landlords
We regularly provide individual consultancy sessions for Private Landlords, where we sit down together, in your premises, to examine, in some detail, which particular aspects of Universal Credit are troubling you and your tenants. Doing so, alows us to, suggest new ideas and processes, including, the use of standard forms & letters, which greatly assist you in your exchanges with DWP and local councils.
We also provide regular regional training courses, on behalf of the Residentail Landlords Association (RLA), in relation to Universal Credit and Local Housing Allowance. Details of the latest courses can be found here:
