Industry Body Calls for Mandatory Qualifications for Letting Agents

In a new report, the body proposes a framework it says will close what it calls the 'regulatory gap' in the sector.

TLIC says the framework would protect consumers from what the report describes as "inconsistent and limited accountability" in the lettings market.
