NAEA & ARLA
Godfrey & Barr are a member of two professional bodies, being the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) soon to be amalgamated, and we adhere to their professional codes of conduct and bonding schemes. This also ensures that we are well versed in all aspects of legislation governing the sale and rental of properties in the UK and any changes that may be subsequently introduced over time.

The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) is the UK’s leading professional body for estate agency personnel, representing the interests of over 10,000 members who practice across all aspects of property services both in the UK and overseas. These include residential and commercial sales and lettings, property management, business transfer and auctioneering.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, let or rent a property, the first principle when searching for an agent is to check that they belong to a professional body like the NAEA. This is because all members have to complete a minimum entry qualification and are bound by rules of conduct to offer you a fair deal, without overvaluing your home. They also provide access to a complaints procedure and a solid understanding of the market. Selecting an agent who is a member will ensure your peace of mind, as well as the highest level of integrity and service.

We are also members of ARLA (the Association of Residential Lettings Agents). ARLA is the only professional and regulatory body solely concerned with Residential Lettings, it keeps members up to date with changes in legislation and the many other requirements for a successful lettings practice.  As ARLA members, we have been in business for 16 years, we hold separate clients accounts and can demonstrate that these are professionally managed and audited; we hold professional indemnity insurance cover to comply with the requirements of ARLA's fidelity bond and we offer a full management service to Landlords.
