Keeping your money SAFE with Evesham's premier letting agent
As a tenant, you'll probably have paid a deposit to your landlord or letting agent, but do you know exactly where your money is held and are you sure that it'll still be there when you want it back?
Johnsons are dedicated to ensuring a level of client money protection, well above the industry standard. We have also voluntarily become licensed agents, demonstrating our commitment to upholding the high standards that should be expected of a professional letting agent.
SAFE – Safe Agent Fully Endorsed – is a mark denoting firms that protect their landlords and tenants money through client money protection schemes. There are several schemes operated by ARLA/NFOPP, NALS and RICS. Johnsons are members of ARLA, NAEA, NALS & RICS.
We are also still, remarkably, Evesham's only member of SAFE AGENT?
Landlords and tenants often make decisions based on cost but it is important to ensure you ask your agent for details of the organisation they are regulated by and whether or not they are covered by a client money protection scheme. All agents regulated by ARLA/NFOPP, the Law Society, NALS and RICS maintain and operate separate designated client accounts where your money is held completely separate from the operating funds of the firm. If the agent you are using cannot provide you with the assurance of knowing they are covered by a client money protection scheme the question you need to ask is, why not?
