Westminster Council’s trading standards team is
investigating its own ALMO for the second time in six months. The authority
previously fined City West Homes £15,000 and listed it on the Greater London
Authority’s database of rogue landlords and agents after another investigation
last year. City West Residential, a letting and estate agent set up by the ALMO
in 2009, was found to have breached consumer rights laws by failing to display
its new tenancy fees accurately on its website. Westminster City Council would
not confirm the nature of the second investigation, but Inside Housing
understands it relates to the way City West Homes uses its estate agent to buy
back ex-authority homes sold through Right to Buy. Read more on Inside Housing.
