Look for the Logo

By the Beresfords Marketing Team - 13th March 2017

Selecting an agent is fundamental to your ongoing sales or letting experience, the costs involved and how effective communications will be. Be sure to look for the Propertymark logo to ensure you're in safe hands.

Propertymark offers consistently high standards, holding members accountable in order to protect consumers and their money. Consumers know that the Propertymark Protected logo guarantees that they and their money are safe.

Propertymark expect far higher standards than the law demands and they campaign for more laws and enforcement to regulate the sector. Estate agents, letting agents, auctioneers and valuers who display the 'Propertymark Protected' logo actively ensure maximum protection for their clients. By using a Propertymark Protected agent, you have the peace of mind that you and your money are safeguarded by Propertymark's Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme.

Like Propertymark, Beresfords has called on the Government to adopt licensing for years to improve professional standards within the industry. To us it seems absurd that advising on someone's most valuable asset, their property, can be left to people with little or no knowledge or experience.

We think the licensing initiative will be a huge step forward in terms of service to the consumer and will give them confidence that the person and company they are dealing with is best placed to advise them on their property sale or purchase.

Propertymark's membership organisations - the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers (NAVA), the Association of Professional Inventory Providers (APIP) and the Institution of Commercial and Business Agents (ICBA) - have for more than 50 years advocated the highest professional standards for property specialists.

As you would expect Beresfords are a regulated agent and part of Propertymark.
