This article is an external press release originally published on the Landlord News website, which has now been migrated to the Just Landlords blog.
The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) has announced that it has a new president.
Peter Savage is an ex-professional drummer, having been a session musician for 13 years. He entered the property industry while living in Spain.
Upon returning to the UK in 1990, Savage went to work with an agent in Islington, London.
On his first day, Savage says: “I was given a desk, a phone, a list of properties and a bunch of cards with prospective tenants’ names and numbers on. No computers, no mobiles, no email.”1
A full interview, in which Savage says that he would not use an online estate and calls for full regulation of the industry, can be found here: http://www.propertyindustryeye.com/interview-new-arla-president-peter-savage/.
