Property Agencies Urged to Review Lone-Working Safety Procedures
Property agencies across the UK are being urged to review their lone-working procedures. This follows the 40th anniversary of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance.
According to PropertyWire, Propertymark has updated its personal safety guidance for property professionals. The guidance covers risk assessments, staff training, and check-in systems for those working alone.
This update is relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks who may often work alone or visit properties independently. Agencies are encouraged to review their current safety measures in line with the new guidance.
