Licensed Agent 


Every year tenants and landlords suffer distress and lose money when dealing with agents who are inexperienced and do not handle client money in a professional manner.
 
As ARLA licensed agents, we hold your money in a designated client account which are regularly subject to independent inspection.
 
What makes an ARLA Licensed agent different?
  • We are experienced and trained professionals
  • We have professional indemnity insurance;
  • We are backed by Client Money Protection (CMP);
  • Our accounts are independently inspected;
  • We understand and comply with complex legislative changes and best practice;
  • We attend regular training to keep our experience up-to-date;
  • We comply with all standards of the nationally recognised professional body for letting agents.
Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) are the only professional body that is solely concerned with the regulation of Letting Agents and has been actively promoting the highest standards across every aspect of residential letting and management for over 25 years. ARLA member firms are required to work within the robust Code of Practice, which covers the key stages of letting and management of property.

Ensuring deposits are administered correctly

Since the April 2007 all deposits taken for Assured Shorthold Tenancies must be covered by a Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme.

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) is a multi-award winning provider of tenancy deposit protection which protects over 1 million deposits in England and Wales.

This scheme was developed to ensure that deposits held by reputable agents were protected, and that disputes about their return were resolved swiftly, inexpensively and impartially.

We are a member of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, which is administered by;The Dispute Service LtdPO Box 541 Amersham Bucks HP6 6ZR
