What it means

Agents are obliged under the Consumer Protection Regulations not to omit material information. National Trading Standards' guidance groups it into Part A (such as price, council tax band and tenure), Part B (such as property type, construction, rooms, utilities and parking) and Part C (issues affecting only some properties, such as flood risk).

Why it matters for your business

Listing workflows that prompt for this data reduce compliance risk and avoid sales falling through late.
