The register was set up in January 2018  for all those currently carrying out letting agency work (as defined by section 61 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014), and operates hand in hand with the Letting Agent Code of Practice that all landlords must understand, and has been introduced with the express intention of driving up standards and accountability – protecting landlords and tenants alike.

You can download a copy the Letting Agent Code of Practice from this link: https://www2.gov.scot/Resource/0053/00530797.pdf

This generally means:

•  Work carried out for a private landlord who wants to let their property out to a tenant

•  The management of a property (including collecting rent, inspecting the property and arranging for repairs and maintenance) which either is currently or is planned to be rented out to a tenant

As a letting agent which manages properties and arranges repairs and maintenance, Ross and Liddell complies with this regulation.

Every individual who wants to be added to the Scottish Lettings Agent Register must undergo training and a ‘fit and proper’ person test to ensure they meet the requirements. Ross and Liddell employees are required to undergo this training and to ensure they’re keeping up-to-date with developments.

•  Arranging, managing and ending a tenancy

•  Managing repairs to and maintenance of a property
