What is Client money protection?

Client money protection is a form of insurance that protects the landlords and tenants’ money held by a letting agent. If the money is misappropriated, lost, or stolen or if the agent goes into administration, landlords and tenants can contact the agent’s client money protection provider to make a claim for compensation.

Look out for the logo

Our members must display their membership certificate and our logo in their office and on their website. We changed our logo in October 2021. If you see any agents using our old logo, please let us know through our support page so we can send them the new logo.
