New data law signals a chance for agents to do things differently

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 officially became law on 19 June, marking the biggest update to the UK’s digital data laws since Brexit.

Nevertheless, some Propertymark members have already reported increased costs for the more detailed assessments.

Propertymark strongly welcomes Welsh Housing Survey

Jayne Bryant MS, Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government announced that the survey will be undertaken in 2026–27, marking a major step forward in improving housing policy. This is a great campaign win for Propertymark – we have been calling for this for some time, including in evidence to the Senedd’s Local Government and Housing Committee, where we made it clear that without up-to-date and reliable information, ministers can’t make informed decisions that truly reflect what’s happening across Wales.

This change coincides with the enforcement of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCC Act) on 6 April 2025 which supersedes the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs) and has shifted power over consumer protections to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
