ESPC announces free ‘buy-to-let’ event for aspiring investors

Posted: 25th January 2024

Leading Scottish property portal ESPC has announced a free Buy-To-Let event on Thursday 8 February, targeted at aspiring property investors and landlords.

The event will be held at ESPC’s Property Information Centre on Edinburgh’s George Street from 6-8pm on 8 February and will allow those thinking about beginning a property portfolio to have their most pressing questions answered by a panel of property, tax and conveyancing experts.

Free to attend, the event will offer information on the status of Edinburgh’s private rental sector, as well as a Q&A session with the expert panel. This will be followed by the option of one-to-one sessions with the experts, allowing attendees to receive tailored advice to their queries and quandaries about Edinburgh’s rental market and becoming a landlord.

Experts in attendance will include Head of ESPC Lettings Nicky Lloyd, who’ll give an overview of the current rental market, and ESPC Mortgages advisor Shirley Mushet, alongside property and conveyancing experts Gavin Pearson of Mov8, and Kara Marriot and Robert Andrews from Neilsons.

Nicky Lloyd, Head of ESPC Lettings, said: “Edinburgh’s rental market is renowned as one of the most in-demand in the whole of the UK, and the city is currently in need of quality rental properties to satisfy the huge number of prospective tenants searching for a home. With so much demand in the market, the opportunity is great for those considering a buy-to-let investment, but we understand that there can be many questions concerning becoming a landlord, and how to go about it correctly. Our upcoming event is a rare chance to access free sessions with a broad array of property experts, and have your most pressing questions answered about what it takes to make a success of property investment.”

Limited spaces are available for the event, so those interested in attending should RSVP at espc.com/events.
