The first All-Wales Agent forum will be taking place on 20 November 2024 at 1pm, thanks in part to lobbying and engagement from Propertymark with the Welsh government.   

The property professional body says that it has been busy leading on this issue and campaigning for agent focussed meetings and more specific engagement from the Welsh government with letting agents.  

Propertymark adds that it has consistently said that agents require a separate space to interact with stakeholders separate from possible landlord clients.   

Tim Thomas, policy and campaigns officer at Propertymark, commented: “Propertymark is delighted to see that an all-Wales agent forum has been organised for the first time ever, and it is something that we hope to see replicated elsewhere.

“Letting agents provide a hugely valuable service to both landlords and tenants, serving as intermediaries and ensuring a positive experience for both parties. 

“This forum will provide a unique opportunity for agents to engage with the Welsh Government and Rent Smart Wales, share ideas and best practice, as well as understand the legislative landscape in Wales and how it will impact their business.”
