Lord Best talks about RoPA and the significant changes it will soon bring about for estate agents and later house builders, landlords and freeholders.

Lord Best, architect of the RoPA proposals that will see estate agents regulated by 2022, says such a huge housing sector can no longer carry on unsupervised.

Love them or hate them, the hybrid agency's LPE Katie Wilcox-Smith has been recognised by the trade association for her lettings training.

Lord Best is hosting the annual Propertymark gala event at the House of Lords as the government prepares to introduce compulsory NVQ Level 3 qualifications.

ROPA working group proposals to government published today reveal much wider scope of regulation that just high street sales and lettings agents.

Following delivery of working group's report on how agents should be regulated including minimum qualification standards, next step towards legislation is due today.
