Not all estate agents are equal

Not all estate agents are equal

Why would we always recommend you use a NAEA Propertymark agent

Did you know that there is currently no regulation of estate and letting agents? There are no compulsory or industry regulated qualifications either. This means that anyone that so desires can become an estate agent and there are some agents that have been in the industry for decades that have not done any form of training since they first started their career in the industry.

We will let that sink in for a second, the people you trust to help you buy or sell a property, most likely the largest financial transaction you'll ever make, could have little or no qualifications or industry knowledge!

Many agents believe this is wrong and are pushing for regulation within the industry. Out of this desire, NAEA Propertymark was formed. It's a voluntary organisation that agents can join to demonstrate transparency and ensure they are at the forefront of developments in the industry and to provide the very best moving experience for their clients.

By using a NAEA Propertymark estate agent you are guaranteed to be consulting with a professional agent who can give you up-to-date advice and guidance. These agents are bound by a Code of Conduct and will be qualified as to remain part of the organisation they have to undergo training and continual professional development to ensure they are able to maintain their membership.

When you are considering which agent to use when you are looking to move, ensure that they are members of NAEA Propertymark to give you peace of mind.
