🚨 Quick myth-bust for landlords in Wales
Not every letting or property management business you see advertising is necessarily operating with the right permissions in place.
Under Rent Smart Wales, anyone carrying out letting or property management work in Wales generally needs to be licensed, not simply registered.
Depending on the role, that means meeting the relevant requirements around things such as:
✅ Rent Smart Wales licensing and approved training
✅ Client Money Protection, where applicable
✅ Professional indemnity insurance
✅ Membership of an approved redress scheme
✅ A written complaints procedure
✅ Proper records and compliance procedures
And as a landlord, you’re entitled to ask your agent:
“Are you licensed with Rent Smart Wales, and can you show me your compliance details?”
If they can’t give you a clear answer, it’s worth asking why.
I built JK Properties Wales to be compliance-focused from day one. Having spent years working in a regulated sector, I understand the importance of proper processes, accurate records and doing things properly — not just making promises.
