The Autumn Budget 2024: What we'd like to see We agree that the right kind of housing support for buyers needs to be actioned in the form of stamp duty relief for key demographics. To free up appropriate housing for families, we'd welcome relief to help the over-55's with right-sizing and help first-time buyers onto the property ladder. Phil Spencer from Move iQ comments on how these steps can benefit the whole housing market.

During a Q&A in the House of Commons today, Housing Minister, Matthew Pennycook MP stated the UK Government, in due course, will look at the regulation of #lettingagents, #propertymanagement agents, and #estateagents... outlining they are committed to ensuring those living in the rented and leasehold sectors are protected from abuse and poor service at the hands of unscrupulous property agents. We welcome the commitment to improving standards across the whole sector, something we have campaigned on for a long time. Consumers must be guided through the house buying, selling and renting processes by qualified property agents. ARLA Propertymark, NAEA Propertymark, NAVA Propertymark, NAEA Commercial, and members of our #Inventories Accreditation Scheme already operate to these higher standards and are qualified #propertyprofessionals. We want to see the whole sector regulated to our standard. Are you qualified? https://ow.ly/iCHX50TUL5V Read more: https://lnkd.in/e44dzkaQ
