Rent With Confidence Scheme Re-Launch by West of England Rental Standard

Posted on July 12th, 2017

What is Rent with Confidence?

It’s a voluntary set of realistic standards and requirements that sets out clearly what landlords need to do when renting a property. If a landlord is accredited through one of the approved organisations, they will automatically be under the Rent With Confidence umbrella.

Who approved and operates the Rent with Confidence scheme

The four West of England Local Authorities Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol City, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset Councils have approved the Standard. The scheme is also supported by Plymouth City Council.

Which organisations are approved?

  • Bristol Association of Letting and Managing Agents
  • Bristol University Student Union Lettings
  • Consider-Rate Limited
  • South West Landlords Association (accredited members only)
  • National Landlords Association (accredited members only)
  • National Landlords Code of Excellence Limited
  • Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
  • Residential Landlord Association (accredited members only)

What are the benefits of meeting the standard?

It will help you demonstrate that you are compliant and show prospective tenants you are a responsible landlord. There are also incentives available to members such as discounted rates for some licensing schemes, key property services, like insurance, property valuations, accountancy etc. Please see the following website for more information http://westofenglandrentalstandard.co.uk/

Why has Rent With Confidence been introduced?

To allow landlords to demonstrate they are responsible and so tenants know where to look to find decent landlords and accommodation.
