Hamptons is a member of Propertymark and your monies are covered by the Propertymark Client Money Protection Scheme and a member of a redress scheme provided by The Property Ombudsman.

Clients’ money protection: RICS rules state that firms regulated by RICS shall preserve the security of clients’ money entrusted to it. We therefore ensure that clients’ money is protected; any clients’ money entrusted to us is held in a client account, separate from our own money and can only be used for purposes agreed with us by the client. RICS also funds a Client Money Protection Scheme – a free service provided by RICS to clients of firms that are regulated by RICS. Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) The Frost Partnership registers all deposits held on behalf of tenancy agreements with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), designed to protect the tenant's deposit and the landlord's property during a lease term. A nominal administrative fee is required by both the tenant and landlord to apply for this scheme.

OpenRent is the UK's largest letting agent, using online services to make renting properties cheaper and more convenient than ever before - while holding quality and security as our top priorities.

OpenRent has never charged any administration or agency fees.

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, landlords may charge you a fee if you lose keys or other security devices, or pay your rent late. You may also be asked for other permitted payments, such as a holding deposit when you begin your application.

There are no hidden fees or other charges when renting an OpenRent property.

OpenRent is a proud member of the Property Ombudsman and holds comprehensive Client Money Protection via the government-authorised Propertymark Client Money Protection scheme.
