ARLA

 In June 2006 cmRENT became members of ARLA, the Association of Residential Letting Agents and in 2009 became one of the 1st Licenced ARLA Letting Agents in Braintree & Chelmsford.

cmRENT now employ 3 ARLA licenced agents, who are Michael Saville, Susannah Saville & Paul Buck. The rest of our staff attend regular ARLA training courses throughout the year, aiming to pass their exams to become licenced ARLA members too. Our commitment to ARLA assures all Landlords & Tenants of our legal knowledge and practical approach in matters relating to Residential Property Letting, and gives them the confidence that they are covered by ARLA's client money protection scheme in addition to the Professional Indemnity insurance cover we have should things go wrong.

ARLA is the leading professional and regulatory body in the UK exclusively for letting agents in the Private Rented Sector. ARLA members are required to comply with a Code of Practice and to have staff in their branches with suitable industry qualifications. ARLA provides information, support and training to keep members up to date with the latest legislation. ARLA has strict rules on how agent members handle and deal with their client's money and bank accounts must be regularly audited. Each member firm is covered by the Association's Client Money Protection Bonding Scheme which safeguards client monies from any misappropriations of funds or claims of bankruptcy and every member firm has to have adequate Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Adrian Turner, Chief Executive of ARLA said, "We are pleased to welcome cmRENT into membership of ARLA. Professional letting agents such as these who are committed to promoting the highest standards in residential lettings help our Association to strengthen the Private Rented Sector and to drive out the dishonest and cowboy agents who too frequently prey on an unsuspecting public".

Michael Saville of cmRENT said "We have constantly strived to provide a quality professional letting service to our customers and our membership of ARLA confirms this commitment to our Landlords & Tenants."
