mydeposits.co.uk, a leading tenancy deposit protection scheme, has selected CEDR Solve to provide additional Alternative Dispute Resolution with immediate effect.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is evidence-based and uses professional, impartial adjudicators in larger dispute cases between landlords and their tenants.
mydeposits.co.uk is now the only tenancy deposit scheme to adjudicate the majority of larger disputes externally. This guarantees landlords and tenants are treated impartially and fairly.
Eddie Hooker, Chief Executive, mydeposits.co.uk, said:
“Our commitment to free and impartial dispute resolution is demonstrated by this new partnership between mydeposits and CEDR Solve.
“Although only 0.6 per cent of all deposits currently protected by mydeposits end with the need for formal adjudication, it is important that our business model remains robust if more dispute cases are raised.
Gregory Hunt, Director, CEDR Solve, added:
“The work of mydeposits is crucial in assisting the UK housing market to function more smoothly. We feel very privileged to be brought in to use our Alternative Dispute Resolution expertise on this important initiative.”
mydeposits.co.uk uses two companies for Alternative Dispute Resolution: www.idrs.ltd.uk and www.cedrsolve.com
