Guild of Property Professionals Launches Video Training Series

The Guild of Property Professionals has released a six-part video series aimed at providing estate agents with business insights and operational guidance. The series, titled Inside the Network, is presented by The Guild’s chief executive, Iain McKenzie, and covers topics such as brand development, business generation, instruction acquisition, and marketing approaches.

The content of Inside the Network draws on McKenzie’s experience as a former independent estate agent and includes contributions from member agencies across The Guild’s network. The first episodes are scheduled for release this month, with the series designed to share knowledge and strategies among Guild members.

The Guild operates as a network that allows independent estate agencies to retain their business structures while accessing centralised services and resources. This approach has become increasingly relevant as some property agency owners choose network affiliations after selling their businesses.

Future instalments of the video series are planned, with upcoming episodes expected to feature Guild members, account managers, and administrative staff. These episodes will cover case studies, industry developments, and operational matters relevant to estate agents.

The Guild has positioned the series as an ongoing resource for member agencies operating in different regional markets across the UK. The training initiative comes at a time when estate agents are facing operational pressures, including tax threshold changes expected to affect the majority of landlords by 2028, which may impact transaction volumes and client advisory requirements.
