New Landlord Association seeking pledges
Update: Please now email your pledges to [email protected]
For the past 18 months, I have mulled over the idea of setting up a new National Landlords association. I won’t bore readers to death explaining why. We all know how frustrated and sickened the community is with the other main associations failing to aggressively fight our corner and instead assist the councils implementing their rotten Selective licensing schemes. Enough is enough.
We could talk forever, but it is now time for action. I have held off taking this leap in the hope that somebody else would take up the baton. I completely understand the reluctance of anybody to get involved. Mark summed it up. A most time consuming venture.
As things stand now, the show is almost ready for the road.
I have set up the National Landlords Alliance. Before I go any further if the National Landlords Association wish to take issue with the National Landlords alliance, I say bring it on. Do it now.
Moving on Banking facilities are in place. I am prepared to act as CEO without salary initially to get the organisation up and running. The organisation will operate out of offices supplied by me on a rent free basis, until profitability can be achieved.
I have a PR/Secretary lined up who will join us subject to salary discussions. She has experience in the industry as well as a journalism degree and lobbying experience.
Following extensive negotiations over several weeks I have got agreement from the former National Chair of the FSB to also join us. Mr Allan has extensive lobbying experience including vast experience gained from negotiating with the former PM Cameron and Osborne, as well as dealing with the devolved Governments of Scotland ,Wales and NI. This would complete the team initially.
I also have organised a preferred solicitor to assist members. The individual I have in mind is a former local authority prosecutor.
We will not be selling courses or cheap smoke detectors. We will absolutely never assist councils implementing any scheme to the detriment of landlords. As regards document downloads, they are available from other sources.
We will be 100% focused on aggressively fighting the Landlords corner.
The fee to join would be £100 pa.
At this stage all I seek is pledges.
If the figures are right we are good to go. A word of caution however,and I don’t mean to insult regular contributors, but at this stage our biggest enemy is Apathy.
If we can get the pledges ie a min of 1000 members we have a new organisation.
The NATIONAL LANDLORDS ALLIANCE LTD.
Larry Sweeney
Update: Please now email your pledges to [email protected]
With everyone on board we will hopefully move rapidly to collating the membership required with everyone’s help

I’m in.
Well done Larry for taking the initiative. As you say and this has been discussed in other threads the NLA/RLA are letting their members down badly, the “softly, softly approach” advocated the NLA has achieve absolutely nothing but the ability to say “I told you so”, which helps no one.

Thanks Neil. As i said and as you know apathy is the enemy now. There are great regular contributors on Property 118, too numerous to mention individually . I dont doubt their support. My figure is 1000 pledges to get the show on the road. We could build on that.

I am selling off my domestic properties, but I am willing to pledge £100 to help get this show on the road.
