Professional Memberships

Ark Residential Letting are bonded members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), so you can be confident that you will receive a professional first class service.  ARLA is the only professional and regulatory body solely concerned with residential lettings.  It keeps members up to date with changes in legislation and the many other requirements for a successful lettings practice.  ARLA members are governed by the ARLA Code of Practice providing a framework of ethical and professional standards at a level far higher than the law demands.  Membership is achieved only by agents who demonstrate that they have a thorough knowledge of their profession and that they conduct their business according to best management practice.  ARLA Members must hold a separate client account and demonstrate these are professionally managed and audited; hold professional indemnity insurance cover to comply with requirements of ARLAs Fidelity  Bond; and offer and full management service to landlords in addition to letting only.

The ARLA Fidelity Bond is designated as a protection of first resort for monies entrusted to ARLA members by landlords and tenants during the ordinary course of their business as letting agents.    Further information is available on the ARLA Website (link here to www.arla.co.uk)

We are also members of the National Approved Letting Scheme, this is also an accreditation scheme for lettings and management agents offering peace of mind to landlords and tenants.  Further information is available on the NALS Website ( link here to www.nalscheme.co.uk.)
