The Lettings in Practice programme is designed to enhance the skills of those working in letting agencies by helping them gain a better understanding of what is important in all aspects of landlord and tenant relationships. It is underpinned by references to company procedures, the Letting Agent Code or Practice, and wider legislation.
The sessions within the programme, which are delivered virtually, will provide learners with higher levels of confidence, a pathway to career progression, and meaningful CPD.
Session 1 focuses on Management and Maintenance of Let Property.
Excellence in property management is what sets letting agents apart. Property Managers take on a wide range of responsibilities and it is crucial to remain engaged with the tenant and landlord during the period of their tenancy. The session looks in detail at the role of the Property Manager. Topics explored in this session:
- Relevant consumer protection law for lettings professionals

Session 2 focuses on Interpersonal Skills and Problem Solving for Property Managers.
This session concentrates on the skills necessary to manage difficult situations and conversations involved in the day-to-day management of property and tenancies. We look at how to manage communications with landlords and tenants when property management issues arise covering:
- Property standards
- Water ingress or leaks to another property
