Material information part B: How to read the room

Estate Agents are now required to follow the advice and recommendations contained in the guidance by NTSELAT under 'Part B Material Information' published in November 2023. This guidance includes measurements, types of rooms and room sizes.

In a recent survey, nearly half (48%) of homes for sale across the UK contained at least one room that was listed incorrectly.

This course sets out the requirements of the NTSELAT’s guidance notes and explains the RICS code of measuring practice by looking at the correct way of measuring rooms and how to accurately describe room sizes using examples. It examines the validity of disclaimers and outlines due diligence defence.
