Is the ROPA Report a Waste of Time for UK Estate Agents?
In this episode, London estate agency broker Rupert Collingwood shares his candid views on the much debated ROPER regulation and why, in his opinion, it might be more of a headache than a help for estate and letting agents. If you work in the UK property market, understanding the reality behind enforcement and what really affects trust in our industry is essential.
Rupert explains how the original ROPA report was influenced by vested interests and why enforcement is hampered by Trading Standards’ stretched resources. He argues that more regulation isn’t necessarily the answer to improving trust, rather, proper enforcement of existing rules is what’s missing. Rupert also suggests an innovative public-private partnership to boost accountability across the board.
