Free advice for landlords on lettings incentives

Landlords and owners of empty homes in North Somerset are invited to a free event next month to find out more about council help and incentives.

The council's lettings team will promote the free letting service it offers for landlords and provide information on the incentives on offer in exchange for good quality, affordable accommodation.

Also at the event will be representatives from the National Landlords Code of Excellence with information about landlord accreditation; Citizens Advice; West Country Savings and Loans; The Centre for Sustainable Energy; the council’s housing standards team and the Department for Work and Pensions with information about Universal Credit.

Council deputy leader Mike Bell says: “Everyone has the right to live in a safe, good quality home and we’re committed to tackling inequality across North Somerset. 

“If you’re a landlord, or planning to be in the future, you can help by getting in touch with our lettings team and coming along to this free event for an informal chat about the free lettings service we offer and the many benefits for landlords. We’re always looking for good quality, affordable properties across North Somerset to help people who need a home.

“Our lettings team offer a completely free service to help landlords find tenants, including health and safety assessments and advice on tenancy issues. There are also grants and loans available to help make a property ready to rent out.”

The event takes place on Tuesday November 9 from 8.30am to 1.30pm at The Stable Games Room in Weston-super-Mare.
