SURVEY: Do you want renting done right? (Chance to win £50 voucher)
Last year, our Renting Done Right report delivered an open letter to the Government. Take part in our survey and let your opinions on lettings legislation be heard.

Last year, hundreds of agents took part in a report that we delivered to the Department of Levelling Up. Off the back of your answers, we told government officials that the sector needs more support, more consistency, and more incentives.
With your help and views, we delivered an open letter signed by 1,100 letting agents and landlords and have held events and meetings with government officials, journalists, decision-makers, and MPs.
And now, to continue that movement, we need your views again. This time we’re proud to be collaborating with the NRLA. While they get feedback from landlords, we’re looking for more than 500 letting agents to complete this year’s survey.
As a thanks for your time, we’ll also add completed surveys into a draw, with one participant winning a £50 Amazon.co.uk gift card.*
Participate and let your voice be heard in our survey now
