Propertymark has collaborated with other leading sector organisations, forums and landlord associations to coordinate the launch of the Housing Coalition, which held its first in-person meeting at its London offices on Wednesday 22nd November.
The Housing Coalition is made up of organisations that represent landlords, property agents or work directly within private rented sector (PRS) housing.
The group has been formed to allow a collaborative voice to improve standards within the sector, make private renting fairer for the benefit of landlords, agents, and tenants alike and to provide an environment for landlords and agents to support housing needs.
The Coalition is also keen to expand membership to be an inclusive group for organisations that support improving the supply, quality and environment for PRS housing.
It aims to prioritise the ongoings of the Renters Reform Bill, legal and court reform and improving standards within the PRS.
Timothy Douglas, head of policy and campaigns at Propertymark, commented: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Propertymark and other leading sector organisations, forums and landlord associations to collaborate and make sure that our voices are heard when it comes to reforming the PRS.
“It was brilliant to have the support of Andrew Lewer MP at our launch so that we can ensure our voices are heard by politicians.
“By working together and harnessing our collective experiences, knowledge, data and case studies from across the country we can challenge policy makers and bring about positive change going forward.”
