Leaders Romans Group (LRG) has agreed a new partnership with The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) to become the organiser’s national lettings partner.

The new agreement will afford members of the NRLA a range of new benefits, including:

+ A third off published fees for any of LRG’s landlord services – Let Only, Rent Collection, or Full Management.

+ Use of the Smart Investment service (powered by NRLA partner GetGround) which allows landlords to form a buy-to-let company in under 30 minutes.

+ Financial support from LRG in the form of its Premier Service, in the event that a landlord becomes involved in legal proceedings.

Allison Thompson, national lettings managing director, LRG, said: “Leaders Romans Group has always been at the heart of our local communities, with our vast network of high street branches and brands. As a group, we have a far-reaching range of property-related services, and we look forward to being able to support NRLA members with some of these, including sales, lettings, property management, mortgages, build-to-rent, block management and surveying.

“Our partnership with the NRLA means we will be able to further support the large number of landlords they already work with. Our specialist teams, with their award-winning service and local knowledge, can share their expertise with the NRLA’s members.

“We’re delighted to work more closely with the NRLA and believe that together our partnership can help to bring a collaborative voice and a positive change to the private rental sector (PRS) as we navigate the changes happening in the sector together.”

Ben Beadle, chief executive at the NRLA, commented: “Our property management solution Portfolio helps self-managing landlords navigate the complex world of compliance but not all of our members are hands on.

“Through our relationship with LRG, our landlords will benefit from a preferential rate on new properties and count on an unrivalled level of support in navigating the increasingly complicated world of residential lettings.

“Further, Members will benefit from local expertise as to market conditions in in their area at regional NRLA events.”
