Meet with your supplier — it's important for you.

Check they are not still producing pre-April 2025 material information packs.

Because you still get fined, or disqualified if your supplier gets it wrong.

Fines

hundreds of estate agents fined for compliance failures across the board in the last 12 months alone. You’re not immune. That number is expected to rise sharply in 2026.

You don't have to change suppliers.
But you should share the below.

Why it’s crucial for you.

Other suppliers don’t intentionally increase your risk, it’s just as lawyers we’ve invested hundreds of thousands of pounds designing the UK's most compliant Material Information pack.

Our aim: avoid you killing your business if you get fined, struck off or criminally prosecuted with the wrong supplier pack.

We are happy to help your supplier comply the new legal requirements — free. It's our way of giving back to an industry we've been proud to serve for three decades.

LEGAL REFERENCES

As a starting point, here's what your pack must cover — share it with your supplier when you meet.
