Strengthen
Sustain and grow
As a membership body we depend on the support of our community to help deliver our objectives and support members in running sustainable and profitable lettings businesses.
In order to achieve this outcome, we must sustain and grow membership from the entire rental sector.
Our focus will be on looking at emerging markets in the housing sector and how we can help them to be proud to deliver the best homes possible through information, campaigning and training.
Other income streams have to be explored to sustain a maturing organisation within an ever-changing housing sector.
We will achieve this growth through the development of measurable and achievable targets.
In an ever-changing climate of political and economic change, SAL puts our members at the centre of what we are about as we help them sustain and grow their lettings businesses in challenging times.
As an organisation we must ensure that we can continue to support our members by investing in our service and securing our future for the next 20 years.
The objectives below demonstrate how these priorities will be incorporated in our strategic planning. Performance indictors will be measured and monitored on a regular basis.

As a small independent landlord for the past eight years I have found the services of SAL invaluable in helping me through the minefield of legislation and red tape that goes with the territory. Before we took over three properties in our area I asked friends who let out rooms to students a) is this a good idea? and b) any advice? The answer was join SAL, so we did, and even with recent price increases it’s worth every penny. Just knowing help is at hand at the end of the phone, and that documents, templates, and courses are all available. Thank you SAL – I couldn’t have managed this far along without you.
As a new business, SAL has been instrumental in helping us in a number of ways – particularly the legal advice line for assisting us with our mandates and documentation.
