Propertymark is to host an Understanding Material Information for sales and letting Agents webinar this week.

The National Trading Standards Estate Agency Team (NTSEAT) recently produced guidance for the new parts A, B and C of material information necessary for sales and lettings agents on the process to enhance material information disclosure in property listings, and Propertymark wants to ensure agents are familiar with the guidance by hosting a webinar on Thursday 18th  January from 12.30pm-2pm.

Announced last year, Part A includes aspects like council tax band or property price. Parts B and C cover the type of property and building materials used, and information about a home being impacted by risks such as floods respectively.

Emma Cooke from NTSEAT will help explain the process.

Nathan Emerson, CEO at Propertymark, said:  “It is vital that estate and lettings agents are informed about the changes to material information, and Propertymark’s webinar on this issue aims to inform them about what they can expect on material information changes throughout the year.”

Guest speakers include Neil Cobbold, MD of automated rental payments service PayProp, and PayProp’s head of sales, Bernadette Sheridan.

Past ARLA Propertymark President, David Votta will also feature as a guest speaker.

Emerson said: “Artificial Intelligence is set to become a crucial part of our everyday lives, and we encourage estate and lettings agents to attend Propertymark’s webinar on this issue to ensure that they are ready for the changes this new technology is set to bring to their lives, especially when it comes to dealing with fraud.”
