Three agencies have been expelled from membership of The Property Ombudsman for two or more years, after failing to pay awards or comply with the scheme’s codes of practice.
The expulsions of Shields & Co in Nottinghamshire, LPC Lettings Ltd in Liverpool and Blackhorse Property Management Ltd in Bradford follow complaints made against the companies by a vendor, landlords and tenants.
Across the three cases, unpaid awards and rent which had not been passed to the respective complainants totalled nearly £11,000.
