The new season of the Gwent Landlord Forum kicks off on September 25 at the Parkway Hotel in Llantarnam, Cwmbran.

The free event, sponsored by Cwmbran-based Rubin Lewis O’Brien and Green & Co Accountants and Tax Advisors, will kick off the fourth year of forums aimed at educating landlords from across Newport and Gwent.

The format will continue on a guest speaker format, with September’s forum covering the basics of the private rented sector, including the most common mistakes landlords make, as well as an update on the Renting Home Act.

The speakers are Emily Samuel, from letting agency SerenLiving, and Simon White, from the Welsh Government.

Ed Gooderham, director of Green & Co Accountants and Tax Advisors, said: “We are terrifically excited to launch the new season of the Gwent Landlord Forum alongside our partners at Rubin Lewis O’Brien.

“Our contacts and clients alike enjoy the forum and find it an incredibly useful tool. We welcome both Emily and Simon and look forward to two interesting and informative talks.”

Managing partner at Rubin Lewis O’Brien, Sam George, said: “The Gwent Landlord Forum is now in its fourth year and it very much forms a large part of our stakeholder engagement. By hearing first-hand the views of our clients and the people of the Gwent area, we are able to ensure our understanding of the buy-to-let market is spot on.

“It is vital that we bring the best-placed professionals to keep attendees informed on what is an ever-evolving industry. On behalf of our firm, I look forward to welcoming all attendees to the start of our new year.”

The Gwent Landlord Forum will start from 6pm and is due to finish by 8.30pm. For more information, contact Rubin Lewis O’Brien or Green & Co. Alternatively, landlords and those with an interest in the buy-to-let market can follow @GwentLandlord on Twitter.
