A busy week. I had a great time at the North Staffordshire Landlords Conference and thank you to everyone who attended.
Since I got back I have been watching the news mostly. I see that our former Housing Minister, Gavin Barwell, has lost his seat so this means yet another housing minister.
Let’s hope his replacement, is someone who has some smattering of understanding of the sector.
