Leaders Romans Group has partnered with Goodlord to roll out lettings tech to over 300 UK branches.
The group includes Leaders, Romans, Stirling Ackroyd and Acorn among its brands.
Branches will leverage Goodlord’s platform across referencing, contracts, payments and compliance.
Allison Thompson, national lettings managing director at Leaders Romans Group, said: “At LRG, we are always looking for ways to enhance the service we provide to our landlords and tenants, while ensuring our operations remain as efficient and compliant as possible.
“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.”
The Goodlord platform is designed to simplify compliance, unlock efficiencies, and help agencies discover new revenue streams.
It ensures letting agencies and their landlords remain compliant across new and existing tenancies, something that’s set to be more important once the Renters’ Rights Bill reforms become law.
As part of this partnership LRG agencies will transition to Goodlord’s PRO Referencing offering, which makes tenant referencing safer and faster.
The average reference turnaround time for PRO users is 20 hours, while users are connected to sources such as HMRC, payroll providers, Open Banking, and the National Fraud Database (CIFAS). The tool also offers IDVT and AML checks to further protect agents and landlords against nefarious applications.
William Reeve, chief executive at Goodlord, said: “We are delighted to welcome LRG as a Goodlord customer.
“We’ve been longstanding admirers of their business, and are honoured to have been selected as a strategic partner for them as they look to streamline their operations. 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.”
