Feasibility Study and Survey
The Highland Council is assisting with a feasibility study into the development of a social lettings service in the Inner Moray Firth area. The most important part of the feasibility study is finding out the views of private landlords on the range of resources that a social lettings service may be able to provide, and whether these would be seen as useful.
Antara Consulting has been commissioned to undertake the study, and has developed a short online questionnaire for private landlords – it should take no more than 5 minutes to complete, and can be accessed via the link below:

We would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete the survey. If you have any questions about the survey, please feel free to contact Ann Evans, Antara Consulting Tel: 01997 421587 or email ann@antaraconsulting.co.uk
