The UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA) is a professional association that supports letting and management agent members to be successful, stay compliant and provide a high-quality service. Based in central London, it represents the interests of members across the UK, works constructively with various government departments and sits on many committees and policy input bodies. UKALA membership fees are based on the amount of client money a member business holds. It offers to improve standards through professional development and makes compliance easier by giving automatic membership to both a government-approved Client Money Protection scheme and an Independent Redress Scheme. Membership also offers a range of commercial discounted benefits as well as advice services, publications, newsletters and documents. UKALA is member-owned and run for the benefit of members. Membership is currently circa 1200.
