Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the single construction regulator as a potential regulator of property managers.

As per the announcement of 29 September 2026, the government intends to legislate to regulate property agents through an independent statutory regulator. As a minimum this will cover managing agents across leasehold and commonhold, estate agents, letting agents and estate managers on freehold estates.

We will set out further detail on the government’s strategy for the regulation of property agents in due course, including on licensing, qualifications and codes of practice.
