Almost 2,000 property professionals gathered at Propertymark One as agents, policymakers and industry leaders came together to discuss the key issues shaping the future of the housing market.
The event was designed to give property professionals direct access to policymakers, regulators and sector experts, providing delegates with the opportunity to hear first-hand about legislative, regulatory and market developments affecting estate and letting agents across the UK.
A key moment of the conference saw delegates hear from former Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Angela Rayner (main picture), with attendees given the opportunity to put questions directly to one of the country’s most influential housing policymakers.
The conference programme covered a wide range of topics including housing policy, regulation, consumer expectations, business growth and market trends, while also providing opportunities for networking and collaboration across the sector.
CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE
Propertymark says the event was built around encouraging constructive dialogue between the profession and decision-makers, helping agents better understand government priorities while ensuring policymakers hear directly from those operating at the frontline of the property market.
Jason Lee, Head of Commercial at Propertymark, says: “Propertymark One is about giving property professionals direct access to the people, policies and perspectives that influence their businesses every day.
“We are proud to provide a platform where important conversations can take place, where questions can be asked openly, and where our members can hear directly from policymakers and industry leaders.
“The quality of discussion throughout the day, combined with the expertise shared by our speakers, made this a hugely valuable event for everyone who attended.”
“One of the best industry events I have attended.”
Lee O’Brien, Managing Director of iad UK, adds: “Propertymark One delivered exactly what I was hoping for and more.
“The opportunity to hear directly from policymakers and industry experts was invaluable, and the range of topics covered reflected the real challenges and opportunities facing our sector.
“In particular, I felt the sales and lettings sessions were exceptionally strong this year, offering a greater depth of insight and more practical takeaways than in previous years.
“I left with fresh perspectives, actionable ideas that I can take back to my business, and a stronger understanding of the direction of travel for the property industry.
“It was an incredibly worthwhile day and one of the best industry events I have attended.”
