For Residents
Deposits and Protections
We are members of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). Through our membership we comprehensively protect our resident’s tenancy deposits with full government backing.
We partner with Flatfair to take and secure our tenancy deposits. The deposit requirements across the rental communities we manage differ depending on a number of factors.
We are members of the The Association of Residential Lettings Agents and are members of the Propertymark Client Money Protection Scheme, as required by UK law. This is a scheme that reimburses landlords and tenants should a letting agent misappropriate their rent, deposit or other client funds.
We are full members of The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors holding us to the highest standards of professional competence.
Our Client Money Protection Certificate is available here
