This scheme has been developed to comply with the requirements of the Housing Act 2004 and helps ensure that deposits held on behalf of Landlords are protected and any disputes with regard to their return are resolved swiftly inexpensively and impartially. The scheme is fully supported by ARLA, the National Association of Estate Agents and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Brownill Bateman are also members of The Sheffield District Landlords Association.

It is with these factors in mind clients may be assured that our residential letting team will take on your property with enthusiasm, professionalism, an understanding of legal implications besides care and commitment unrivalled in respect of the letting or management of your property.
