Interesting, i obtained a National Diploma back in 1991 which was carried out by the NAEA in association with the Kings College in London. NAEA doesn't acknowledge this certificate even though it was signed by their then president. So a new body, would be good and to hold some credibility with serious decision making without politicians dictating some new law to keep their existence and fat salary.

Another hidden tax to obtain more revenue, although i agree everyone should be qualified, i am not so sure if it is required if you have 10 years plus experience? however, i would welcome such an introduction, perhaps fee's will then increase in line with other countries where agents are licensed....

Unbelievable how they are letting Sales progression staff go, they are the people that keep the sales together! although if they have not got many sales to manage then that could be the reason. Good luck to those being made redundant, good people will always find another job.

Brexit isn't to blame, stamp duty increases for additional properties has seen significant drops in BTL and 2nd home ownership, in addition, tax changes and relief on interest for mortgages has ensured a lack of buyers for BTL. This has a knock on effect for those sellers looking to move up market which is one reason why transactions have slowed down because there are less buyers willing and able to purchase. The Government made these various changes to give FTBuyers a chance to buy these so called BTL properties ( first type homes) which was a big failure in the Plymouth because salaries are low but the cost of living is high in this area. Disappointingly, whenever the Government make such drastic changes, they do so because of what may be happening in certain areas of the county but each area has its on economical and geographical challenges. I would welcome the scrapping of SDLT for additional homes whether they are for investment or personal use, this would help stimulate the market place but the Government doesn't listen to experts in the world of Estate Agency.
