HomeLet & Let Alliance says unprecedented move is in response to the unusual Covid lockdown agents and landlords now face.

Barbon, which last year merged with Let Alliance, has appointed Andy Halstead as its new CEO following its acquisition by PIB.

Covid cast a shadow of doubt over rent guarantee insurance, says Richard Reed, but insurers have responded to ensure this critical lettings cover continues to be available.

Lettings doesn’t have to be a risky business, says Lisa Isaacs, – there is an insurance product to suit every agent, landlord and tenant.

People and proptech work together to verify that tenants are who they say they are and, says Lisa Isaacs, accurately predict their ability to pay the rent.

Andrea Kirkby reports on the fast-moving market for deposit protection schemes.

HomeLet, Rentshield and Let Alliance will now all operate under the Barbon insurance broker umbrella in a bid to weather the 'tough and challenging' letting market.

Let Alliance completes a two-year strategic project to redefine the way that tenant referencing works in the UK, with references now returned the same day.
