The panel brings together:
• Richard Blanco of the National Residential Landlords Association, who buys, lets and manages property in six London boroughs and regularly comments on housing in the media • David Votta, founder of Votta Sales and Lettings, the youngest-ever President of ARLA Propertymark in 2021 and now a director on its main board • Marc Von Grundherr, a director of Benham & Reeves, which he joined in 1996, with a background in banking and international property investment • Adam Lawrence, founder of Propenomix, who has been involved in more than 550 UK properties since 2011, mostly retained for the long term • Rob Wiggans, Operations Director at the Savills Residential Investor Hub, who previously worked at Taylor Wimpey and Property Hub
