Indie estate agents group recruits first member; signs first official supplier

The new National Trading Standards Estate & Letting Agency Team will act as the lead enforcement authority for the purposes of the Estate Agents Act 1979 and the Tenant Fees Act 2019

Estate agents "will be expected to wear masks while working in their high street offices", confirms Propertymark following the latest tightening of Coronavirus-thwarting measures.

“The new code of practice will look to set standards at a higher level than currently legally set," says steering committee leader Baroness Hayter.
