On 15th June the TNL Property Team attended Times media sponsored Lettings Live Seminar including The 2010 Lettings Awards.
 
The recent downturn in the property market has seen a shift in trend towards lettings. Less new homes are being built and the mortgage market remains tight. This has prompted more and more agents to create lettings divisions, lettings had previously been a few members of staff tucked away at the back of the office.

The seminar programme focused on the growth of the lettings sector. Alongside many key speakers and TV pundits from the industry, Peter Conradi (Editor of Home) hosted a 2009 Winners Panel. Three winners were invited to answer questions about their success in the sector and how they have grown their business.
 
Dave Thompson represented print media in an 'election style' Media Debate alongside Nick Leeming of Zoopla.co.uk and Nick Tadd, a social media expert. The debate focused on the growth of online and mobile phone access to web portals, while Dave defended the power of print to grow your lettings brand in the market.
