One of the key themes of the White Paper is the Welsh Government’s commitment to achieving housing adequacy — a concept that includes affordability, security, and access to quality housing. While Propertymark agrees with this goal and supports enshrining housing adequacy as a human right in Welsh law, we have urged policymakers to focus on pro-growth policies rather than introducing restrictions that will force landlords out of the market.
The Welsh Government’s response to the Local Government and Housing Committee's report on the Private Rented Sector (PRS) demonstrates alignment with Propertymark on key areas, such as the importance of the sector, the need for better data, and support for landlords and tenants.
This report has been produced by the Wales Tourism Alliance (WTA) in association with Propertymark—acting in an independent role—for submission to Jayne Bryant MS, the Housing Cabinet Secretary. It formed the discussion at the roundtable meeting in Cardiff on 12 November 2024.
In response to the Welsh Government’s call for evidence, Propertymark has shared members’ views on the impact of the legislation on their operations and business practices. We recognise that Rent Smart Wales (RSW) has achieved some progress in regulating and improving the private rental sector (PRS) and have made specific recommendations for how the Senedd can build on this going forward.
