Landlords need to get moving if they want to stay in the money, because the old style £20 are due to expire very soon.
Notes featuring composer Sir Edward Elgar (see picture below) are being withdrawn on 30 June, to be replaced with a new note featuring Adam Smith and boasting several enhanced security measures to prevent counterfeiting.
We’re urging all our landlords to make sure they check their AWP machines, note acceptors and till points are emptied of the old style notes before the end of June.
But all is not lost if you find a spare old style note lying around; for several months after, most banks, building societies and post offices will be accepting the old style for customer transactions.
