Benefits of choosing a Propertymark protected agent
There is no mandatory regulation for estate and letting agents. This is why it is important to choose one who are happy to be part of a voluntary scheme such as Propertymark. By doing so an agent demonstrates transparency and provides evidence that they are at the forefront of all developments within the property industry.
So, how does using a Propertymark protected agent benefit you?
- Integrity – Propertymark agents are experienced and trained professionals who abide by a nationally recognised code of practice
- Complaints Procedure – Handled by independent ombudsman services and regulated by Propertymark
