Why Choosing a Propertymark‑Accredited Estate Agent in Wakefield Matters

When you’re buying, selling, or letting a property, trust and professionalism are paramount. At Hodsons Estate Agents in Wakefield, our membership with Propertymark is a testament to our commitment to ethical standards, legal compliance, and exceptional service. But what exactly does it mean to be part of Propertymark—and why should it matter to you?

1. Professional Standards You Can Trust

Propertymark is the UK’s leading professional body for estate agents, formed in 2017 by merging several specialist associations (e.g. NAEA, ARLA). By holding Propertymark accreditation, we signal that we adhere to a rigorous Code of Practice, designed to protect consumers from malpractice, misrepresentation, and negligence . This affiliation reassures clients that our conduct and practices are held to the highest professional benchmarks.

2. Up‑to‑Date Legal & Regulatory Insight

The estate agency landscape is constantly evolving, with new legislation around client money, energy standards, anti‑money‑laundering, and more. Whether the government introduces a new EPC requirement, or there's a shift in tenant deposit rules, Hodsons stays ahead—helping you navigate every step with confidence.

3. Greater Credibility & Marketing Reach

Advertising ourselves as Propertymark‑protected isn’t just a badge Through national campaigns, Propertymark works to raise public awareness of the value of qualified agents. That endorsement extends to us, increasing consumer trust and boosting exposure through media, social media, and digital platforms.

4. Continuous Professional Development

Propertymark membership requires at least 12 hours of CPD each year, ensuring agents stay sharp in best practice, legislation, and consumer engagement methods. At Hodsons, this means our team is continually being refreshed on market trends, regulation changes, and innovative service techniques—so you benefit from a truly modern, expert-led estate agency.
