Built for letting & estate agents.

High email volumes, regulated wording, and the biggest shake-up to renting in a generation. SafeReplies ships pre-trained on the risks your branches deal with every day — across both lettings and sales: deposit promises, discriminatory shortlisting, illegal fees, GDPR exposure, material-information gaps on listings, and all the wording the Renters' Rights Act changed when it came into force on 1 May 2026.

Risks we surface

Fourteen patterns — split evenly across lettings and sales.

The property pack is trained on real complaint and ombudsman language from English & Welsh letting and estate agents — seven lettings risks and seven sales risks. GDPR, data-handling and complaint-escalation rules run across both sides. Each pattern comes with example phrases, why it's risky, and a suggested compliant rewrite.

Renters’ Rights

Renters’ Rights Act 2026 wording

The former Renters’ Reform Bill — now in force since 1 May 2026. Fixed-term, “no-fault” / Section 21 and “rent in advance” language is flagged: every tenancy is periodic, possession runs through Section 8, rent rises once a year via Section 13.

Deposit

Deposit misrepresentation

Definitive deposit-return promises, missing scheme references, or wording that bypasses the standard check-out process.

TFA 2019

Illegal fees & misleading charges

Admin fees, referencing fees, inventory fees — anything outside the Tenant Fees Act 2019 permitted-payments list.

Rent bidding

Rental bidding & advance-rent breaches

Inviting offers above the advertised rent, or asking for more than one month’s rent up front — both banned since 1 May 2026, with civil penalties up to £7,000.

Right to rent

Right-to-rent errors

Asking the wrong question, asking only some applicants, or wording that suggests the check is conditional on nationality.

Repairs

Repair & obligation misstatements

Telling a tenant they are responsible for something the landlord legally must fix — including damp & mould under Awaab’s Law.

Conduct

Arrears & eviction tone

Arrears chasing, eviction wording and complaint replies that could be read as harassment under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.

Sales & estate agency 7 risks Material information · misdescriptions · valuations · AML
DMCC 2024

Material information on listings

Missing or misleading “material information” in portal listings and sales particulars — tenure, council tax, known defects — now enforceable under the Digital Markets, Competition & Consumers Act.

Misdescriptions

Sales particulars & misdescriptions

Describing a property in terms the particulars can’t support — the wording that draws misrepresentation claims and Property Ombudsman complaints.

Valuations

Valuation & “guaranteed sale” promises

Inflated valuations to win an instruction, or “guaranteed sale price” language that creates contractual exposure and unrealistic vendor expectations.

Offers

Offer handling & gazumping

Failing to put all offers to the seller, steering buyers, or conditional-selling wording that breaches the Estate Agents Act 1979 and CPRs.

AML

AML & source-of-funds wording

Vague or non-compliant source-of-funds requests, missing CDD references, or oversharing the reason for a check on a buyer or vendor.

Equality Act

Discrimination & fair treatment

Filtering applicants or buyers on family status, age, ethnicity, source of income or disability — even when phrased as a “preference”.

Boundary

Unapproved legal & financial advice

Branch staff giving opinions on possession, tax, conveyancing or mortgages that should be referred to a solicitor or adviser.
