RESIDENTIALlettings
43 Lettings news A new rental prices index is launched, the new SafeAgent mark reports
success, landlords mustn’t cut corners and an agency in Oxfordshire introduces a useful new wheeze on its website. It’s all here.
46 App your service Some of these new Apps are a bit gimmicky; more like a game for the kids,
but some are really useful and we’ve reviewed some of the best.
53 Innovation in lettings software More, more, more – that’s what agents want, more innovation, more integration, more time saving. And the suppliers are rising to the challenge.
58 Don’t be anti-social Private rented sector agents used to turn up their noses at social housing,
but it is the new land of opportunity – time to have a sniff around?
