With the Renters' Rights Bill dominating the headlines, many in the UK property industry are wondering if the government is missing the point. In this interview, Nicol Nightingale, former letting agent, regional rep and now asset manager, explains why bringing in yet more legislation could do more harm than good. Nicol argues that without first regulating property agents through ROPA, the Renters' Rights Bill risks piling pressure on an already stretched system without actually protecting tenants. She highlights the worrying reality of unqualified agents and self managing landlords drafting legally binding tenancy agreements with no formal training. Rather than political posturing, what the sector really needs is investment in proper qualifications, stronger enforcement of existing laws, and a serious move towards professionalising the industry. Listen to the full interview to hear why Nicol believes change is needed!

Should You Split Your Estate Agency Fee? Expert Advice from Rupert Collingwood In today's fiercely competitive UK property market, the question of whether to split your estate agency fee has never been more relevant. Rupert Collingwood, an experienced London broker, explains why charging the right fee and working collaboratively with other agents might be the best way to stand out from the crowd. Over the last two decades, average fees have dropped from 1.6% to around 1%, largely due to commoditisation and the dominance of portals, which have made most agents' services feel almost identical. Rupert argues that by charging a proper, fair fee, agents can afford to share commissions and work together for the benefit of vendors and buyers alike. He highlights how collaboration can improve the customer experience and build trust, especially when agents put aside ego and focus on what really matters, getting the best outcome for clients.

Are the Property Portals Too Powerful? Estate Agent Rupert Collingwood Tells It Like It Is In this compelling discussion, London estate agency broker Rupert Collingwood explores how property portals have reshaped the UK market, and why their influence might be doing more harm than good. If you work in estate or letting agency, understanding this shift is crucial for staying ahead. Rupert argues that portals have turned the industry upside down, making agents focus more on the number of viewings rather than the quality of each one. This shift not only affects how agents operate but also changes buyer expectations, treating house hunting like online shopping, when buying a home is anything but simple. He points out that many agents end up chasing viewings to meet targets, often losing sight of what really matters: securing genuine buyers and delivering a personal service.
