I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the recent course I attended. It has proven to be very helpful in raising our awareness and knowledge levels.

The course has played a significant role in boosting our confidence, especially in providing advice and suggestions to both landlords and tenants. Moreover, it has equipped us with the skills to confidently address common issues in property management, emphasising the correct handling of Section 21 Form 6A and stressing the importance of drawing up a Deed of Assignment for tenancy swaps and a Deed of Surrender.

Thank you for facilitating such a valuable learning experience.
