CFP Software has offered its support to a new Government-recognised mark to help consumers identify where they should place their business and be protected.

The SAFEagent campaign helps to protect landlords’ and tenants’ money by allowing them to identify which letting and management agents are covered by client money protection schemes – therefore keeping their business and money safe.

Agents using CFP’s software, who sign up to display the SAFEagent logo, will hold clients’ money in completely separate client account from the operating funds of the firm.

Mark Goddard, managing director of CFP, said said his firm would be looking to raise awareness among its clients that the SAFEagent mark is an “essential requirement”” for all professional lettings and management agents.
