Senior Lettings Negotiator, Emma Waring has achieved the National Federation of Property Professionals (NFoPP) QCF Level 2 Award in Introduction to Residential Property Management.

The Award, which is a nationally recognised industry qualification, meets the Association of Residential Letting Agents’ (ARLA) membership requirements to join the Association as a member agent. ARLA is the UK's foremost professional body for letting agents. It aims to promote better regulation and higher practice standards in the UK private rented sector.

Emma comments: “It was important for me to secure this recognised qualification as a letting agent. It is not only a personal achievement but also a mark of professionalism and trust; it provides reassurance to tenants dealing with Royston & Lund that the agency adheres to the highest professional standards, and that employees are qualified and knowledgeable letting agents.”

Melfyn Williams, Chair of the Governing Body, adds: “The NFoPP QCF Level 2 Award is an ideal first step in demonstrating a basic knowledge in the key areas related to residential letting and property management within the lettings sector. The NFoPP Awarding Body is committed to raising standards within the residential letting and property management sector through the provision of accredited, nationally recognised qualifications, such as the Award Emma has achieved.”

David Cox, Managing Director of ARLA, concludes: “I congratulate Emma on her achievement of the Level 2 qualification and hope to welcome her to full ARLA membership soon.

“ARLA strives for better regulation in the private rented sector; with the support of letting agents across the UK recognising the need for higher standards and integrity in the sector, gaining an NFoPP qualification counts as a real stamp of professionalism and supports the drive for better practice within the industry.”
