Propertymark is urging agents to get ahead of the curve and be ready for the next big initiative – Regulation.
Propertymark has made clear that it backs the idea of a code of practice, minimum qualifications, and licensing for estate agents across the UK and letting/managing agents in England.
Calls for regulating agents have been prevalent since 2019, when cross-bench peer Lord Best chaired a working group demanding all property agents to be licensed and adhere to a Code of Practice, and that they should hold at least a Level 3 qualification.
