Rise Homes register all deposits with the TDS custodial scheme. This means that deposit funds are held externally by an independent body and not directly by the company. TDS are a government approved, not-for-profit scheme who will protect deposits and provide impartial adjudication in the event of any disputes regarding proposed deposit deductions at the end of a tenancy.
Rise Homes uses The Property Ombudsman (TPO) as our redress scheme of choice. Membership of the Property Ombudsman demonstrates our commitment to professional standards and ensures those standards are maintained in the event of any complaints.
