This really is a time of change for me. The new Landlord Law site is chugging away nicely so I have time for new ventures. Zollch Ltd The most exciting of these is the new company I have set up with my long term web designer Gill Bishop. We have called the company Zollch Ltd…
Well, further to my previous post, Landlord Law has now gone live. Its basically, good but there have been a few problems. Landlord Law! Where is it?
