The biggest landlord law changes in 30 years are no longer coming… they’re here

On Wednesday 8 April, we hosted a packed room of landlords, investors and property professionals at Hampshire Property Network

Our keynote speaker, Paul Shamplina (Founder of Landlord Action), delivered exactly what the room needed:

Clarity. Direction. Real-world insight

Paul broke down:

• Where landlords are now most exposed to risk
• The impact of Rent Repayment Orders and Civil Penalty Notices
• What landlords must do to protect their income and stay compliant

This wasn’t theory

It was practical guidance from the front line, helping landlords prepare for the Renters’ Rights Act implementation on 1 May

A big thank you to Paul Shamplina for an engaging and valuable session

And to our event sponsors:

• Alice Ibbotson – Property Shield
• Adam Penny – Penny & Wells Insurance Services
• Peter Mill – Merriebank Property Services
• Bill Dhariwal – Lawcomm Solicitors
• Steve Hanbury – National Landlord Investment Show

Most landlords only realise too late their agent is the problem - the wrong agent costs you time, money and peace of mind.

Most landlords think they’re covered… until the paperwork gets tested

That’s when problems show up

Invalid notices
Weak agreements
Delays that cost time and money

Right now, with the law shifting, those mistakes are happening more often

Lawcomm Solicitors work with landlords and investors who want it done right first time:

• Notices and possession
• Tenant disputes
• Leasehold issues
• Development and contracts

If you’re in property, this is not something to guess

This is the side of property most ignore… until it hits

Most landlords think they’re compliant… until they’re not.

And by the time you find out, it’s already expensive.

Fines. Enforcement notices. Rent repayment orders. Delays you didn’t plan for.

This is exactly where most portfolios get exposed.

That’s why I want you to meet Alice Ibbotson from Property Shield.

She’s not theoretical. She works directly with the realities landlords face every day.

Fire Risk Assessments
HMO compliance
Housing standards
Local authority expectations

No guesswork. No vague advice. Just clear, practical steps that protect your investment.

If you own, manage or are building a portfolio, this is one conversation worth having before something goes wrong.

Speak to Alice of Property Shield at the event to make sure you’re properly covered.
