Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Landlord Expo 2010 a free event?
Yes, the Landlord Expo 2010 is free to all landlords, prospective landlords, agents and managers. The event is organised by the four West of England local authorities (Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire). The event is paid for by event sponsors and exhibitors. The aim of the event is to provide free information and access to useful resources for landlords in the private rented sector.
What is the West of England partnership?
The West of England group is a partnership of four local authorities from the old Avon area, namely: Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council. For more information on the West of England group click on the map to the left showing the West of England region.
The Landlord Expo 2010 is also supported by the Bristol Association of Letting and Managing Agents (BALMA) and the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).
Can I book a seminar in advance to ensure that I get a space?
No, the organisers of the Landlord Expo have decided that advance booking of seminars, although convenient for some, can potentially cause big problems on the day of the event. Seminars will be bookable on arrival via the seminar booking desk, a procedure that has been improved after delegate feedback from the Expo 2007.
Do I have to register in order to attend the Expo 2010?
No, you do not have to register in order to attend the Expo 2010. You may choose to register online, which may save you time if there are queues at the registration desks on the day. However, you do not even have to register on the day if you really don't want to - the event is there to provide you with up-to-date information on the private rented sector and we aim to place no barriers between you and that information.
Can I come along to the Landlord Expo if I don't let any properties in the West of England region?
Yes. We welcome all landlords and other property professionals to the event. The majority of information available on the day, from both commercial and local authority exhibitors and seminars, will apply to all landlords throughout England and Wales.
Is there a limit as to how many seminars I can attend?
No. You can attend as many seminars throughout the day as you like. We try and organise the seminar timetable so that you will have a chance to hear all the different speakers, but this is not always possible. If you cannot make it to a seminar for any particular reason please contact us after the event and we will send you any information that was handed out on the day.
Will there be refreshments for delegates?
Yes. There will be free tea, coffee, biscuits and water for delegates throughout the day. These refreshments are sponsored by a commercial company attending the Expo.
Will there be lunch and refreshments for stand holders?
Yes. Exhibitors at the Expo 2010 will be provided with a lunch voucher to exchange for food at the venue. Two vouchers per exhibitor stand will be issued on the day. Please contact us for further details.
