With the new government committed to supporting investment in the private rented sector, the demand for private rented property is the highest it has ever been. There has never been a better time to consider becoming a landlord, and many people are taking their financial futures into their own hands, and investing in bricks and mortar as part of their long term investment strategy.
M+A Partners are joining Arnolds Keys and other property letting expert advisers to present two FREE Buy to Let Roadshows in June to help potential property investors learn more about investing in rental properties and the tax issues arising.
To provide you with the most comprehensive advice on all aspects of property investment and letting, we have teamed up with other property investment professionals, Arnold Keys Letting and Estate agents, Smith and Pinching Mortgage and Financial Advisors and Clapham and Collinge Solicitors to cover all aspects of the advice you will need to help you decide if property investment is right for you.
Our evening seminars will offer you impartial help and advice on how to start and grow a lettings portfolio. The speakers will be talking about different ways of raising finance, what to buy and where, how the properties should be presented and managed, legislation changes, tax implications, Landlord and Tenant law, pensions and anything else you might like to discuss. There will be an opportunity to network with the industry’s leading local property professionals before and after the presentations, and refreshments will be provided.
The masterclass will be of use to employers and anyone working closely with businesses in a professional capacity. Each session will last around 1.5 hours with questions.
With a wave of over 1 million employers set to implement automatic enrolment solutions over the next 3 years it is more important than ever to start planning early.
This masterclass will set out the fundamentals of automatic enrolment to keep you one step ahead of game. We will aim to answer the following questions and much more:
Why has Automatic Enrolment been introduced?
How will Automatic Enrolment impact us?
How much will Automatic Enrolment Cost us?
Is our existing pension scheme compliant?
What happens if we don’t comply?
What option do we have?
When should we start preparing?
What should we do now?
We will then go on to consider ways appropriately structured employee benefits can support the aims of the business by underpinning a positive culture.

Roz Bird, the new Chief Executive of Anglian Innovation Partnership commented, “Well done to the whole AIP team, and the catering team at the Centrum building, for organising an excellent first summer barbecue for our Norwich Research Park community. It is so important for us to help the people that work at Norwich Research Park to meet, talk, explore opportunities, and inspire each other with all the amazing science and business activity taking place.
Roz continued, “It was a great opportunity for me to introduce myself to lots of members of our community in one go and I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone over the coming weeks and months!”
AIP LLP also held a raffle to raise money for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice, and one lucky winner received a luxurious dinner and stay kindly donated by the Park Farm Hotel. Representatives from the hospice charity attended the event to sell cookbooks, and poetry books, and raise money for this great local cause.
The AIP team is working on plans for a whole series of Norwich Research Park events for the community to help companies and researchers on the park to network, collaborate and promote what they do.
