There is no mandatory regulation of estate or letting agents

Unlike the financial services sector, property agents do not currently have to be qualified. The idea that 'anyone can become a property agent' is not far from the truth but only Propertymark Protected agents offer true protection and peace of mind.

All agents who voluntarily join Propertymark are required to operate in a transparent way, providing services which are subject to independent scrutiny. Any agent who falls below Propertymark's standards will be subject to disciplinary action.

The regulation of property agents is a work in progress. In the meantime, there are membership bodies such as Propertymark who continue to ensure excellent practice, and their member agents absolutely have to have qualifications and adhere to strict codes of conduct. Do look out for them, those are the ones you want to be working with.

Using a Propertymark member agent mitigates the chance of issues arising. You can feel more confident about your property agent, knowing they're part of a professional body designed to meet high standards and service.
