Back to News and EventsCurrently there is no requirement for estate agents to hold any specific qualifications in their field. As a result it can be a daunting prospect when it comes to selling your home.
The Government is now looking to change this by:-
Most estate agents will have relevant experience and knowledge already, but the idea behind ensuring that all estate agents hold a qualification is to ensure a minimum service level standard across the board. This, along with the other changes implemented, will hopefully result in a smoother and faster transaction for property sellers and buyers.
Moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do and having a good estate agent as well as an experienced conveyancing Solicitor will help greatly in reducing those stress levels for all parties concerned.
This is an exciting change which should benefit the property sector and conveyancing process to get you moved quicker.
