Protecting clients’ money

As members of ARLA Propertymark we are duty bound to protect all money held on behalf of our clients. Whether your money is held in our ring-fenced client account or that of our management team, your money is fully protected. In the unfortunate event that any rent, deposit or other client funds are misappropriated, then Propertymark will consider an application to compensate you.

The Client Money Protection (CMP) Scheme will compensate an applicant (Landlord, Tenant or Management Company) up to £25,000. However, landlords are limited to a maximum of three months rent. The total maximum payable in respect of a member company would be £500,000. In any one year the scheme has a limit of £3million. The length of time that an application takes to be completed will depend on the information provided by the applicant and the circumstances of the application. Propertymark will endeavour to complete the process as quickly as possible.

To make an application for compensation please complete our CMPS Application Form (editable PDF) and email it to [email protected], alternatively you may send your correspondence by post to the following address: CMP Applications, NFoPP Regulation, Arbon House, 6 Tournament Court, Edgehill Drive, Warwick, CV34 6LG
