Letting Agents: Regulation

(asked on 12th October 2017) - View Source

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their proposals to regulate letting agents, announced by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on 1 October, will include management companies involved in the administration of long leases.


This question was answered on 26th October 2017

The Secretary of State recently announced a package of measures better to protect tenants, including the requirement that all lettings agents will have to register with an appropriate organisation. This will give landlords and tenants confidence that their agent is meeting minimum standards.

On 18 October, we published a call for evidence seeking views on the regulation of letting and managing agents in the private rented and leasehold sectors. The call for evidence closes on 29 November and we will develop proposals taking into account the evidence received.
