Only exception could be is if the letting agent leases the property from the owner, therefore becomming the landlord themselves?0 -

It doesn't matter who owns the property, it is whoever the LL is.
For example mr A own a house. I rent it from him, with permission to sublet.
Mr A is liable to me for my deposit, I am liable to my tenant for there's.
So yes if the letting agent has leased the property they become the LL, but the terminology of letting agent isn't an issue.
9/10 times a letting agent represents the landlord0
