DID YOU KNOW?
It is a common misconception that Estate agents are legally required to be qualified.
That means that technically, anyone can set up shop and call themselves an agent. Scary, right? Unfortunately it does happen and we are seeing it more and more..
But here’s the good news:
Propertymark-accredited agents choose to do things differently.
They voluntarily commit to:
✔️ Proper training & qualifications
✔️ Working transparently & ethically
✔️ Following strict rules designed to protect you & your money
We are proud to be a Propertymark Protected agent and we have choose to meet higher standards because we believe you deserve better. With hundreds of years of experience across our vast team, we make sure that the service you receive is the best and safest in the industry.
