NLA or RLA?

[Scott Nash]

Afternoon everyone,

 

So I've recently inherited a property and want to get up to date with everything quickly. In my search I've read that it's good to join associations so the question is which? Is there one which is much better than the others or are they much in the same? Thanks.

Hi , they are more or the same, just make sure you sign up on a promotion. I intend to alternate my subscription annually based on these promotions reducing cost. not sure if it would work as i haven't completed a year yet with the RLA

Hi Scott.

 

There will be some small differences, but when I considered them before selecting one I found the offer to the landlord was very similar.

I'd suggest you pick one, go with them, and get the best value you can out of them.  If they don't work for you try the other one the following year and then you'll have first-hand experience.

Hi Scott

 

I would agree with Hendrix and Andre. Very similar. Good idea to go for the one offering the best promotional annual fee at the time and give them a go for a year -and, of course, don't forget to claim it as a tax deduction!

 

Good luck.

Hi Scott,

I have no idea which one is better, just to give you another perspective, I am a member of SAL (Scottish Association of Landlords) as I invest in Scotland, for a top up fee of only £10 SAL member can join their English counterpart RLA.

Hi tony,

 

Would you advise joining the SAL?

Very highly recommended. I can't remember how much I paid, after the first year, I opted for the extended 3-year membership during the renewal.

RLA For me, been a member for years & prior to this I was a member with NLA, I found NLA seem to be quite focused on London & not really focused in other towns & cities!
