The Wrekin Landlords Association was set up in the mid 1990’s with a group of private residential Landlords, from the Telford and Wrekin Area of Shropshire, to represent the interests of the local private rented sector. It was set up to uphold the interests of Independent Landlords and members range from beginners with just one property to Multi-Million pound portfolio holders with many years experience. Since it began it has grown to include private Landlords from many different areas of the country, although in the main, they mostly have some form of local property interest.

It is essential, by the very nature of their independence, that this sector should have available to them, the support and advice offered by the collective power and backing of an organisation. This organisation can represent their interest to Councils, Government and other relevant bodies. Also using this collective power to bargain for better prices, cut price deals, better insurance cover and so on. By keeping private landlords abreast of all the latest legislation and future trends it is hoped they may not only profit financially but by compliance and preparation may also safeguard their futures and the future of their tenants.

MEETINGS

The Association hosts four meeting annually, one of which is the AGM. They invite speakers from all types of different backgrounds and interests to address the members. Many of these speakers in the past have included, published Authors, Editors and Journalist, specialist financial advisors, representatives from local authorities and Government department, the police, fire service, environmentalists, housing benefits, members of National Landlords organisations and so on.Once a year we host a purely 'networking' meeting, where members share their concerns advice and solutions specific to this area.

NEWSLETTERS

There are also four Newsletters produced every year under the banner of “Property matters”.

These include recommendations for local services and suppliers. Articles of current and general interest, letters and opinions from members, some light hearted stories and jokes under the heading “Laugh it off” (highly recommended in this current climate). In each issue there is a profile of a local Landlord in “My life in Property” which gives an insight into how other Landlords from varying back grounds operate and cope in the business of property letting. Many members have said how they benefit from sharing ideas with other people in a similar situation, you cannot always do this when operating on a nationwide basis as many of the parameters are so far removed it almost seems like a different business. The newsletter is finally completed with members adverts for properties abroad, a classified index of tradesmen and some useful telephone numbers. This is mailed or sent electronically to members on a quarterly basis just prior to the meetings.

ANNUAL DINNER

Since 2003 an important part of the Associations calendar has been the Annual Dinner, which is usually held in May. This is provided free for members and subsidised for their guests. It includes a three course meal with a choice of menu, wine, free draw and entertainment with prizes (in 2012 total prize value nearly £400). This has proved to be one of the biggest assets to the members in terms of integrating with fellow members and exchanging ideas and opinions.

BENEFITS

In addition to all the above benefits members may have access to discounts on Insurance through the ALAN BOSWELL Landlords Insurance Scheme, plus numerous other special deals from advertisers at different times. Things such as EPC’s, carpet cleaning, boiler servicing and so on. One of the biggest benefits is that members get all this for an annual outlay of just £10, now that’s value.
