Petty gain Council GLAS Accreditation

Petty’s have announced this week, that they have been awarded accreditation status with Burnley Borough Council in their Good Landlord and Agent Scheme (GLAS). GLAS  is a partnership between Burnley Borough Council, private sector landlords and managing agents who rent properties out in the Burnley area. The voluntary scheme was launched in 2001 and updated in 2016 to reflect the changes in legislation and best practice affecting the private rented sector.

Simon Westwell Residential Director at Petty’s said:  “We’re delighted to gain this accreditation as it shows our commitment to ensuring that the properties we Let and manage at Petty’s are always of the highest standard. People need affordable housing but they also need and deserve to know that they are living in good quality housing too”

The improved conditions which are ensured by the scheme enhance living conditions for tenants and residents living in Burnley. Through continuing development of the scheme more Landlords and agents are encouraged to join and improve conditions of their properties. The innovative scheme is seen as being important for promoting and implementing proactive policies and initiatives within the private rented sector. The scheme serves to benefit landlord, agent and tenant by improving the image and standards of private rented accommodation.

Councillor John Harbour, the council’s executive member for housing and leisure, said: “Burnley Council works with private landlords to support them and encourage them to raise their standards. Petty deserves credit for being accredited under our new code of practice.

“It reflects their professional approach to how they go about their business and the fact they are committed to providing a top class service to their tenants.

“Many managing agents are unregulated and some are not members of a professional body. If landlords are selecting a managing agent in Burnley, Burnley Council would always encourage them to ensure they are members of GLAS”
