Informal drop-in events covering a range of property-related topics, from selling and downsizing to interior design, wills, and power of attorney. The first session, a “Sip & See” on Saturday 30th August, will give guests the chance to enjoy relaxed drinks, chat with experts, and share ideas for future events.

All events are free to attend and designed to give attendees direct access to trusted experts, along with the opportunity to network and explore their property questions in a welcoming environment.
