Agents Call for Tougher Regulation
GetAgent commissioned a survey of 537 estate agents in England and Wales, finding that 92% support tougher regulation and 48% believe rogue agencies operate locally. The research turns agents’ frustration with poor practices into a timely news hook as the government considers reforms to the home-buying process.
Why it worked: It weaponised a surprising self-regulatory call—agents demanding tougher rules—quantified by fresh survey stats timed to live government reform talks.
The lesson: Consider polling an industry on stricter rules for itself, then pitch the unexpected consensus while legislation is actively being shaped.
