ARLA backs letting agent regulation calls

ARLA has expressed its support for calls to introduce regulation of the letting sector.

Responding to the recent Communities and Local Government Select Committee’s report on the issue, the organisation’s managing director Ian Potter said he “wholeheartedly” welcomes the recommendations made in the publication.

The committee report was compiled by a group of MPs and calls for letting firms to be subject to the same level of regulation as estate agents.

Mr Potter commented: “ARLA has long campaigned for parity with estate agents in terms of regulation, and we are delighted to see that Parliament appears to be coming round to the idea too.”

He claimed it is vital that both landlords and tenants are fully protected and understand their rights.

“We hope the government will listen to these recommendations, and introduce meaningful regulation of the sector as soon as possible,” Mr Potter added.

The ARLA leader also discussed the matter of letting agent fees, which were criticised by the committee report for often being excessively high and hidden from clients. He said the organisation has always encouraged its members to be transparent about their charges and the services associated with them.

Mr Potter claimed this approach is now supported by recent rules imposed by the Advertising Standards Authority, which stipulate that agents must include details of all compulsory fees and charges in their quoted prices. He added letting firms should use plain English in all of their transactions, including tenancy documents.

ARLA is not the only organisation to welcome the committee’s calls for regulation of the sector, as the Residential Landlords Association (RLA) has also expressed its support for the findings of the report.

In an official statement, it said: “For too long the letting sector has remained unprofessional, unregulated and not transparent enough.”

RLA policy director Richard Jones claimed 90 per cent of landlords rely on letting agents to manage their properties and more needs to be done to ensure their interests are fully protected.

TPO says Client Money Protection is ‘crucial’ for landlords and tenants

The Property Ombudsman has issued a rallying call to letting agent members who do not have Client Money Protection to sign up to it.

It says that, with two recent launches, CMP insurance is now available to all letting agents, whether or not they belong to a trade or professional body.TPO does not currently make CMP a mandatory term of membership. A survey last year showed that 20% of its members that are involved in residential lettings do not have the insurance.

Gerry Fitzjohn, chief operating officer of TPO, said: “We need an even playing field for lettings. All [TPO] agents are required to hold client money in a separate clients’ account, but there is no current requirement to have those funds insured against unlawful use or fraud, which is why CMP is crucial for landlords and tenants.“CMP is not a duplication of any deposit scheme or professional indemnity cover. It goes beyond that and provides landlords with the peace of mind they need to know that the rent collected by an agent is protected.“This isn’t ‘news’ to the thousands of experienced agents that have had comprehensive CMP cover with a trade body for many years, and we fully support the ongoing efforts of trade bodies such as ARLA, NALS, RICS and UKALA to improve industry best practice.“The new CMP products launched this month by PSR Insurance brokers and Hamilton Fraser Insurance Brokers mean CMP cover is now available to the whole of the market, which can only be a good thing.”It is estimated that some £23bn is paid annually in rent, of which £6-£10 billion is collected by agents on behalf of landlords.

Fitzjohn added: “We passionately believe that CMP is great for consumer protection and will ultimately result in a reduction in the number of complaints against lettings agents.“We know from surveying our own agents that the vast majority already have cover. For those that don’t, they now have an opportunity to distinguish themselves from any rogue operators by showing landlords and tenants that they have the appropriate cover in place.“My personal viewpoint would be to question why a letting agent would not support CMP. In the absence of any regulation for the UK private rental market, agents themselves need to take proactive steps to show landlords and tenants that they have taken out the necessary cover to protect rental income.“We now need the industry to unite to raise awareness of this issue so consumers understand the value of CMP, and we will be writing to each of our TPO registered offices this month to publicise our support.”
