Approximately 60 estate agents were invited  to the meet the property guru, who illustrated the importance of staying up to date with the latest property law developments.

A light lunch was served with delicious chicken and beef  wraps and colourful fruit skewers; and to wash it all down, our home-made ice-tea!

After lunch the estate agents had a Question and Answer session and were given professional practical advice.

It was a successful workshop which helped the attendees gain knowledge of the practical implementation of contractual issues.
