NAEA Propertymark

The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), evolved into NAEA Propertymark in February 2017 and is the UK's leading professional body for estate agency personnel, representing the interests of over 10,500 members who practice across all aspects of property services both in the UK and overseas. These include residential and commercial sales and lettings, property management, business transfer and auctioneering.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, let, or rent a property, the first principle when searching for an agent is to check that they belong to a professional body like the NAEA Propertymark. This is because all members must complete a minimum entry qualification and are bound by rules of conduct to offer you a fair deal, without overvaluing your home. They also provide access to a complaints procedure and a solid understanding of the market. Selecting an agent who is a member will ensure your peace of mind, as well as the highest level of integrity and service. www.naea.co.uk
