The Property Ombudsman Changes Annual Conference to a Webinar

 

 


Today, The Property Ombudsman has announced that it will cancel its annual conference, due to be held on 18th June, until 2021. In its place, TPO will be holding a Rightmove Webinar.

Katrine Sporle, Property Ombudsman, said: “Given the circumstances affecting us all, we have decided to convert the conference in Solihull to a Rightmove Webinar to take place on the morning of the 18th June. We will provide updates, advice and interactive sessions to respond to agents’ questions and concerns.”

Tickets already purchased will be credited towards TPO’s Conference in 2021, when normal business resumes.

It is currently business as normal at The Property Ombudsman, with many of its staff managing to work remotely to provide a normal service.  However, TPO appreciates and acknowledges that, like them, the priority for agents is to ensure the welfare of their employees.  Therefore, if services have to change and complaints cannot be dealt with in the usual way, agents should ensure this is communicated to complainants in writing. Should a complaint then be subsequently escalated to TPO, this will be taken into account.

Sending our very best wishes to everyone at this difficult time.
