Landlords often make decisions according to cost but it is important that you consider the safety of your money. Regulated firms maintain and operate separate designated client accounts where landlord monies are held completely separate from the operating funds of the firm.
If your agent cannot provide you with the assurance of knowing they are covered by a clients money protection scheme, the question you should really ask is; why not?
Belvoir Aldershot was one of the first agents to become a SAFE agent.

Belvoir Aldershot uses the DPS and further details may be found here.
