Agency Veterans Join The Property Ombudsman Board
A well known estate agency veteran and a long-standing business consultant and agency adviser have become Non-Executive Directors of The Property Ombudsman board. The appointments were reported by Letting Agent Today.
According to the report, Jan Hÿtch brings more than 35 years' experience in the residential property sector. That experience spans consumer protection, dispute resolution, professional standards, regulation, operational leadership and organisational transformation.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the composition of The Property Ombudsman board is a matter of direct professional interest. The scheme sits at the centre of redress for the residential property sector, and its board shapes the direction of the organisation. The arrival of directors with frontline agency backgrounds — and, in one case, more than three and a half decades in residential property — adds sector experience at board level.
The report does not set out further detail on the appointments, including the start dates, the length of the terms, or any specific responsibilities attached to the roles. It also does not include comment from either new Non-Executive Director or from The Property Ombudsman.
