Property Redress Scheme guide to lettings

Marketing and advertising a property are part of the fundamental responsibilities of letting agents. This function encompasses a wide range of media and letting agents should be aware of their responsibilities when presenting a property to let.

This section provides a legal background to the duties of a letting agent and the consequences of any breach of regulations. It also covers best practices for agents when advertising properties to let and carrying out viewings with potential tenants.

This section is maintained by Sean Hooker of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS).
