Hi
I suspect I may well do a better job at vetting potential tenants than a letting agent,

Good luck with that! Even the most normal-appearing person at first meeting can turn out to be the most needy, aggravating person as a tenant! The most annyingThere's nowt so queer as folk!

Many thanks for your experience, and that gives me a positive idea of being successful...

With landlord associations, there seem to be two main ones:

RLA (Residential Landlord’s Association)

NLA (National Landlord’s Association)

Can you recommend one, or both or something completely different?

Thanks!

Many of the small local associations are affiliated to one of the 2 nationals, so you get the benefit of local meetings, and local knowledge as well as the support from the bigger association.
