Who is standing up for Estate and Letting Agency? - Ep. 2327

Is the UK Estate Agency Industry Really Being Represented? Rupert Collingwood Speaks Out Are the organisations meant to support estate and letting agents in the UK truly representing your interests? In this interview, Rupert Collingwood, an experienced London estate agency broker, shares his unfiltered views on why groups like Propertymark and the Home Buying and Selling Group often fall short. He explains how these bodies frequently miss the mark by failing to consult agents properly and by offering commentary long after key legislation like rent reform and stamp duty changes have already taken effect. Rupert also highlights the consequences of being sidelined in important discussions, with government decisions steadily eroding transaction volumes and agent incomes. He questions the value of membership organisations today and challenges whether they genuinely stand up for the industry or simply serve their own interests. If you’re an estate or letting agent feeling unheard or concerned about the future of the property market, this episode is for you. Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments below!
