  • 📢 From May 2025, all #lettingagents, high-value dealers, and some #auctioneers will be legally required to report any evidence or suspicions they have of #financialsanctions breaches. 👉 Propertymark appreciates recognition of the vital role played by agents in reducing financial crime, but we are disappointed that HM Treasury has not gone further to simplify the regime so that all agents have the same, clear, responsibilities. More engagement with the sector is expected in early 2025 before the changes take effect. Read more ▶️https://ow.ly/1yWc50Ui1cJ

  • 📢The Housing (Scotland) Bill passed Stage 1 in the Scottish Parliament yesterday, but it didn't get an easy ride. Opposition MSPs strongly criticised the legislation's failure to do anything to increase the supply of homes, the main issue driving Scotland's #housingemergency. 💡Propertymark was pleased to hear Mark Griffin, MSP, support our view that #rentcontrols must be linked to tenancies instead of properties, and we will continue to campaign for this amendment at Stage 2.

  • The Housing (Scotland ) Bill Stage 1 is being debated in the Scottish Parliament. Arianne Burgess MSP, from the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee ,who produced the Stage 1 report, criticised the Scottish Government's for failure to come to parliament with fully developed legislation, and stated that continuing to conduct consultation during the scrutiny of the Bill undermined their ability to consider the measures properly. The debate continues and keep following us for further updates and Propertymark members members in Scotland following the debate on the next steps.

  • Take a look at how much more energy bills are depending on an EPC⏬ Data from Rightmove shows that a 3-bed semi-detached house rated EPC A could pay as little as £507 a year, whereas the same home with an EPC C could be paying £1,657 - over three times more. The least efficient homes, with an EPC G rating, could see bills over 10 times higher than the most efficient homes. The average UK rating is D, because so many homes were built decades or even hundreds of years ago with older materials. We want to see energy-efficient homes, lower bills, and reduced emissions in the property sector. The continuing energy crisis is stretching households too far.
