Propertymark has set up a new independent regulatory board in a bid to foster professionalism, transparency and public trust in the property sector.
The board will oversee professional standards, regulatory policy and disciplinary frameworks, ensuring that Propertymark’s regulatory activity is fair, independent and focused on the public interest.
Chaired by housing lawyer Melanie Carter, partner and head of regulation at Stone King LLP, it hopes to enhance consumer protection while supporting its members.
Carter believes independence strengthens confidence in Propertymark’s standards and regulatory processes and makes clear that the public interest comes first. “This new structure reinforces consumer protection and demonstrates a clear commitment to professionalism across property agency, in line with other professional sectors,” she adds.
Bill Butler, non-executive chair of Propertymark (pictured above), says the move aligns the group with the best professional practice, ensuring its processes are impartial, accountable, and robust.
“This move demonstrates our unwavering commitment to the professional integrity of our members – and ensuring that consumer protection and high professional standards come before self-interest,” he explains.
Propertymark is recruiting regulatory board members to support and oversee its regulatory framework and is keen to hear from professionals with experience in regulation, governance, compliance, law, ethics or professional standards.
It is also looking for co-opted professional members (member representative). These voluntary roles provide expert advice and professional insight to help ensure regulation is fair, transparent and focused on the public interest. It wants to hear from Propertymark members with recognised professional standing, experience of governance or regulation, and the confidence to provide constructive challenge while upholding high ethical standards.
