Ten top reasons to go to the Property Business Show

Ten reasons to attend next week's Property Business Show:

1  It really does mean business: So, if you want to look at new and different possible revenue streams, such as property auctioneering, or what franchising could do for you, then don’t miss out.

2  Excellent speakers: The most authoritative speakers are in the line-up, including Property Ombudsman Christopher Hamer, auctioneering guru David Sandeman, ARLA’s Ian Potter, the TDS’s Steve Harriott, and David Salusbury of the National Landlords Association – to name but a few.

3  Stimulating debates: Don’t miss The Great Licensing Debate, essential for all in the private rented sector. Chaired by the highly knowledgeable Eric Walker, with participants including Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales, who wants to introduce blanket licensing of all rental properties across his borough, this is guaranteed to be a lively and provocative session. We also have debates on best inventory techniques (pictures or words?) and whether agency review sites are the way to go – or a complete no, no. And don’t miss the chance to have your say on the Alternative Future of Estate Agency, and Regulation.

4  Great seminars: Can you raise your fees? Make better profits? Think outside the box? Harness new marketing ideas? Make yourself truly different from the competition? Don’t come along to our seminars if you just want more of the same. Do come if you want to be challenged and have your ideas shaken up – that’s guaranteed.

5  Educational content: How to avoid tenancy deposit disputes; tips and best practice from the Property Ombudsman scheme;  tenancy referencing; Surveys; the very latest in digital and mobile. Our programme offers great learning, motivating and training opportunities for you and your staff.

6  Networking: There are too few opportunities these days to meet your peers and colleagues in the industry. The Property Business Show fills the gap.

7  Exhibition: An excellent industry exhibition will showcase the very latest in ideas and products. Compare the different services easily and efficiently, talk to the providers and use the opportunity to get free advice.

8  Try before you buy: Hands-on demonstrations of the very latest in IT, internet and mobile.

9  Excellent venue: ExCeL is an inspirational venue – smart and contemporary, with excellent eating facilities, and easy to get to via public transport. ExCel, Royal Victoria Dock, London E16 1XL

10  It’s free: The entire event, including all the seminars and debates, is completely free to agents. It is open on Thursday and Friday, April 19 and 20 (10-6, first day, 10-5, second day). Attending will cost you and your staff absolutely nothing apart from your time – and that will be well spent. You are, however, strongly advised to register your attendance first and pre-book your seminar places online.
