Join a redress scheme and protect client money

Join a redress scheme before you trade, and protect any landlord or tenant money you hold.

Join a redress scheme before you trade, so that landlords and tenants can take a complaint you cannot resolve to an independent scheme. The approved schemes are The Property Ombudsman and the Property Redress Scheme. You can be fined up to £5,000 if you do not join.
