The property lifecycle webinar

This session outlines best practice for managing MPs’ offices and accommodation with IPSA.

It outlines things to consider while looking for a property, registering it with IPSA, making changes throughout the tenancy, and leaving the property.

By the end you will understand the support IPSA provides before, during, and after your tenancy.

You'll also be able to confidently submit Property Registration and Amendment Forms, and provide the correct evidence.
