Best Place Online for Landlord Information

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum so hello to everyone! I've recently become a landlord and there is so much to think about! It's a bit intimidating but I'm getting there but was wondering, apart from this excellent forum, what are the top places online to get information on issues affecting landlords and guides on various things landlords need to do?

Thanks in advance.

    We use the National Landlords Association, but you have to subscribe to get to lots of the stuff. There may be free sites, which others will hopefully post up for you.

    Thanks for your help guys. I might consider joing the NLA but it would be good to get other people's views on how good they are for info. Landlord Zone looks quite useful so thanks for that! www.lettingzone.com also seems really good and has new articles on there each day it seems. Are there any else?

    Sounds like I might have to sign up for the NLA then! If anyone else has resources for the budding landlord then feel free to post in here. Thanks in advance.
