Agency Group Supports New Rental Database, Stresses Agent Involvement

A leading figure in the lettings industry has expressed support for the government’s new rental database, while emphasising the importance of letting agents being closely involved.

According to Letting Agent Today, Allison Thompson, chief lettings officer at the LRG agency group, believes the database will increase transparency and help tenants feel confident that their landlord is legitimate and compliant.

The report highlights the call for agents to be at the centre of the new system, reflecting ongoing discussions about the role of letting agents in regulatory changes affecting the UK rental sector.
