Leaders Romans Group (LRG) has agreed a new partnership with lettings tech specialists Goodlord.
This partnership will see Goodlord’s end-to-end lettings platform rolled out to the entire stable of LRG brands, which comprises over 300 branches across the UK and includes Leaders, Romans, Stirling Ackroyd and Acorn amongst its brands.
From this month, all LRG branches will leverage Goodlord’s platform across referencing, contracts, payments and compliance. The move forms part of LRG’s ambition to consolidate systems and streamline operations across its rapidly growing lettings brands, which now stretches from the Isle of Wight through to Manchester.
The Goodlord platform is designed to simplify compliance, unlock efficiencies, and help agencies discover new revenue streams. It also ensures letting agencies and their landlords remain compliant across new and existing tenancies.
As part of this partnership LRG agencies will transition to Goodlord’s PRO Referencing offering. The tool also offers IDVT and AML checks to further protect agents and landlords against nefarious applications.
Allison Thompson, national lettings MD at LRD, said: “Partnering with Goodlord allows us to consolidate our lettings processes under one seamless platform, giving our branches the tools they need to deliver a streamlined, tech-enabled experience. For tenants, this means a faster, more transparent rental journey – from simplified referencing to quicker contract processing and secure online payments.
“With lettings legislation continuing to evolve, this partnership ensures we remain ahead of the curve, equipping our teams with market-leading technology to support our customers and drive operational excellence across our network.”
William Reeve, CEO at Goodlord, commented: “LRG shares our ambitious, fast-paced mindset, as well as our ongoing commitment to digital excellence and market compliance, and we know they all explored all avenues when it comes to lettings technology before ultimately choosing to partner with Goodlord. Together, we can deliver an optimised rental experience for agents, landlords and tenants across the nation.”
