We are pleased to invite you to a CPA Future webinar with a focus on practical tips for going to the Tribunal from the perspective of a solicitor, barrister and surveyor. 

How is the rating world coping with effects of CV19? This is an industry webinar briefing and discussion to give all those involved in the rating system a briefing on what’s changed, what’s stayed the same; and how the system works under CV19.

The National Rating Day has become a tradition in the rating world where practitioners attend to be updated on current topics, network and contribute to help shape changes for the future. Speakers represent the private sector, the (VOA) and the Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS).

The conference in its 20th year, is always popular – attracting over 300 practitioners. If you are involved in rating work, this is the event that is said to be too important to miss.

Commercial leases are the foundation and essence of property management. Anyone who works in this area needs to be familiar with what they say, what they mean, and how to work them. In this course we explain the key commercial terms of a commercial lease, and focus on the problems the attending delegates have encountered. It is ideal for administrators who have not been trained in the nuances of property - administrators, PA's, secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, newly qualified and APC candidates.

Back to Basics? Simplifying Planning for a New Decade 

The Planning and Environment Bar Association’s National Conference is a key event for those involved in the planning system and concerned about the environment. With presentations by leading practitioners and judges addressing relevant and current topics and cases, together with great networking opportunities, it is an unmissable event.

The Electronic Communications Code contains powers for taking rights over land for the purposes of delivering telecommunications. It is generally muted that the code is exactly what the telecom industry wanted, and the legislation was passed with virtually no changes, despite substantial stakeholder proposed amendments. So why is it resulting in so many challenges, failures to agree; which is causing inertia in the roll out of the technology in the UK?

Land and a planning strategy are the core ingredients for regeneration, renewal or urban infrastructure and the creation of modern, successful and sustainable living. The conference theme is how CPO fits into the emerging Welsh planning framework and planning agendas. The Compulsory Purchase Association, with over 850 members, has a dedicated Welsh National Committee, and is actively engaged with Welsh Government and the CPA national CPO agendas. They invite you to join this dedicated Welsh CPA Conference.  

The course will give an overview of procedures and look at recurrent issues such as whether the hypothetical lease should include a break option; what should be the assumed length of term and whether a ‘headline rent’ is effectively excluded. The course will look with particular reference to the increasingly well-used PACT scheme.

The Compulsory Purchase Association's National Conference seeks to brief members, non-members and the professions on key issues and topics within the sector, providing valuable CPD for all those engaged in compulsory purchase and compensation work. If you are involved in CPO work, this is a must attend event for technical knowledge, updates and networking.

Best rating practice cannot be achieved without understanding case law. This event is far more than a case law review. A panel of leading lawyers and practitioners will review important and topical cases and explore the nuances of what is best and effective practice in the light of these decisions.

Attend this event and get connected to people at the top of their game in Land Assembly, Compulsory Purchase and Planning. This is an exciting opportunity to have quality peer-to-peer discussion, high-level networking and gain partnering contacts that enable more effective investment, planning and strategic growth for your business. An evening not to be missed.
