Your Money Is Always Safe with Sears Property
At Sears Property, we understand how important financial trust is when dealing with property transactions. Whether you’re a landlord receiving rent or a tenant paying a deposit, you can rest assured that your money is fully protected under our Client Money Protection (CMP) membership.
Client Money Protection is a government-approved scheme designed to safeguard client funds held by property agents. It ensures that if an agent were ever to misappropriate client money, landlords and tenants would be reimbursed.
What Is Covered by CMP?
Our CMP cover protects all client funds held in the course of our business, including:
- Tenant deposits
- Rent received on behalf of landlords
- Client retainers and maintenance floats
- Property management funds
We hold all client money in designated, ring-fenced accounts separate from company trading funds and we adhere to strict accounting and reporting standards.
Why This Matters
As an independent, regulated estate and letting agent, transparency and integrity are central to how we work.
Our membership in a CMP scheme means:
- Your money is secure and insured
- We follow clear financial handling procedures
- You have peace of mind when working with us
In addition to CMP protection, we are also members of recognised professional bodies that promote accountability and uphold industry standards.
