Client Money Protect is a Government Authorised membership scheme for lettings and property agents in the UK to protect the client money such as rents and deposits received.
If your agent has CMP membership then you can rest assure that your money is protected and the agent is compliant with the current legislation.
It is a legal requirement for letting agents to join a Client Money Protection Scheme for the benefit of their clients, typically landlords and tenants, to safeguard money they hold on their clients' behalf.

Certificates - We can arrange or renew annual safety certifications for gas installation, as well as arrange for EPC certificates and Electrical Installation Condition Report certificates to be completed. (subject to additional fees)
We also offer a service which allows landlords the option of using our portals to advertise their property on the major property sites. Landlords will be able to conduct their own viewings and go with tenants they are most comfortable with.
