Edinburgh Council may not be able to organise trams very efficiently, or at all now, but they have been at the forefront when it comes to local authorities in Scotland helping landlords AND tenants. The team of housing officers and other staff who manage landlord registration, HMO licensing and their advice service Letwise are fantastic: approachable, helpful and unbiased whether dealing with landlords agents or tenants.
Letwise produces a regular publication called Inside Letting. Clan Gordon has been a member of the board which produces and edits the magazine since last year. The magazine was produced and posted out but it made sense to change this in today’s digital age to an online magazine and the results are great.
The board meet a month or so before publication and it is planned to do one quarterly. The last one was produced in September 2010 and yesterday we had a look at the content for one coming out in December. As well as lots of handy features on topical issues this issue will cover the new Housing Bill which follows on from the recent Review of the Private Rented Sector, the Landlord Boiler Scrappage Scheme announced here this week and an update on landlord registration.
I will make sure the new issue is launched on this blog....
