Housing law update, Ark Conference Centre, Basingstoke
It's essential for housing professionals to keep up to date on housing law - the whole life of a tenancy is regulated by law. This event takes a closer look at developments in key areas of housing law, providing practical advice on the implications of the latest case law and legislation for housing organisations. It examines the scope of new obligations, and how reasonable adjustments can be made.
Sessions include housing management, managing and defending disrepair claims, anti-social behaviour, and the Regulatory Act. Confirmed speakers include Rebecca Cattermole, Arden Chambers; Tim Crook, Housing Law Services; Daniel Skinner, Batchelors Solicitors and Andy Ballard, Shoosmiths Solicitors.
Delegate rate: £70 (plus VAT), CIH members: £50 (plus VAT). You can earn up to four hours towards your CIH CPD.

South East Home Ownership Conference, Arora Hotel, Crawley
Now in its fifth year, this conference attracts housing professionals working in the home ownership sector and leasehold management from throughout the region. The conference is driven by CIH's Home Ownership discussion group which was set up in 2005 to provide a forum for people working in leasehold management in the South East to come together, exchange experiences and share good practice.
The conference has been sponsored by calfordseaden. Terry Keech, Partner at calfordseaden, will run a workshop on green and sustainability issues effecting landlords of residential blocks. Keynote speakers will discuss the future of affordable housing and how the change in government may impact on home ownership. Workshops will concentrate on current management issues including management fees and costs, a legal update and managing mixed tenures.
Delegate rate: £100 (plus VAT), CIH members: £70 (plus VAT). Costs includes a comprehensive delegate pack, refreshments and lunch. You can earn up to four hours towards your CIH Continual Professional Development.
