We are members of
the following professional bodies:
ARLA Propertymark- The Association of Residential Letting Agents: The Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA) is a professional
membership and regulatory body for letting agents and letting agencies in the
UK. ARLA recognised the requirements of the residential lettings market were so
detailed and specific that a separate organisation was required to promote
standards in this important sector of the property industry. ARLA are the only
professional self-regulating body to be solely concerned with lettings and
letting agents.
NALS : National approved letting scheme. The first step in safeguarding a
future tenancy is to find a property to rent through a respectable letting
agent. A good way to ensure this is for
tenants to look for the sign of membership of The National Approved Letting
Scheme (NALS). NALS give landlords,
tenants and agents a set of service standards in the rental market.
The Property Ombudsmen: Registered agents must
follow The Property Ombudsman Letting Code of Practice. This sets out the
framework within which registered agents must operate and the standards of
service they must provide for both tenants and landlords.
Safe Agent: SAFE –
Safe Agent Fully Endorsed – is a mark denoting firms that protect landlords and
tenants money through client money protection schemes
TDS – Tenancy Deposit Scheme: The Dispute Service is an
independent, not-for-profit, company established in 2003 to resolve tenancy
deposit disputes in the private rented sector. The company has achieved the UK
Government Standard for Customer Service Excellence, and won Tenancy Deposit
Service of the Year at the Property Drum B2B awards 2012. We operate the Tenancy
Deposit Scheme in accordance
with the requirements of the Housing Act 2004. This provides a dispute
resolution service should a dispute about the allocation of a deposit arise at
the end of the tenancy.
