Petty gains GLAS accreditation from Burnley Council

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 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.

“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."
