Welcome to McCartan Lettings’ Property Newsletter for August. We hope you have all had an enjoyable Summer and are making the most of the glorious weather (whilst it lasts!).

This month, we are urging all landlords, tenants and contractors associated with the rental industry in Wales to participate in the Welsh Government's consultation on whether they should ban tenant fees. I will be writing an article for the McCartan blog on the effect of the ban in Scotland, and the impact the English ban is likely to have both there and here in Wales - keep your eyes out for it on social media!

We also are highlighting cases of landlords being prosecuted for non-compliance with Rent Smart Wales, and I’ve found a bargain of a property in Dunvant  going to auction at the end of September.
