Propertymark, the professional body representing estate and letting agents across the UK, has issued a pointed call for the government's forthcoming built environment strategy to deliver genuine alignment of standards across the entire property sector—from construction and retrofit through to lettings and property management. The intervention lands at a critical moment, as ministers finalise policy frameworks that will shape housing delivery, energy performance requirements and professional competency standards for years to come. For an industry that has long complained of a patchwork of overlapping, sometimes contradictory regulations, the stakes could hardly be higher.
