Propertymark, the UK’s leading professional body for property agents, is addressing the many challenges currently facing the property industry, from regulatory changes to market uncertainties. The organization has identified a range of issues affecting estate agents, landlords, and property managers, including new regulations aimed at protecting tenants and buyers, fluctuating market conditions, and shifting buyer preferences. Propertymark is working to support industry professionals as they navigate these complexities, providing resources, training, and advocacy on key issues.
One of the most pressing challenges Propertymark highlights is the regulatory burden placed on landlords, who are required to comply with new standards around energy efficiency, tenant rights, and property safety. These regulations, while beneficial for tenants, can increase costs for landlords and may contribute to a reduction in available rental properties. Propertymark is actively engaging with policymakers to advocate for fair, balanced regulations that ensure both tenant protections and sustainability in the rental market.
Propertymark’s efforts are focused on fostering resilience within the industry and equipping professionals to handle current and future challenges. By providing insights, conducting training, and advocating for policies that consider the needs of all stakeholders, Propertymark aims to help the property sector adapt to a changing landscape. This ongoing support is essential for maintaining a healthy property market that can serve both property professionals and the general public effectively.
