The Changing Face of Lettings: Regulation, Technology and What Agents Need Next

The lettings sector is navigating a period of significant change. With the Renters’ Rights Act bringing new requirements for agents and landlords, further reforms on the horizon, and technology continuing to shape how the industry operates, what does this mean for the future of lettings? 

Ahead of EA Masters, this event will bring together lettings agents, industry experts and PropTech to explore the changes happening now - and what’s coming next. 

We’ll begin with a practical look at the Renters’ Rights Act: what has changed, what is still to come, and how the sector is responding. We’ll then look at the Government’s wider pipeline of reform and what this could mean for agents and their businesses. 

From there, the discussion will turn to the agent perspective. What are the biggest challenges agents are facing? What problems are they trying to solve? Where is technology helping - and where does it still fall short? And what do agents actually need to see from PropTech? 

Rather than a traditional panel with a predetermined set of questions, the conversation will be shaped by the room. Using Slido and open-floor discussion, we’ll surface the issues that matter most to agents and put those questions directly to our speakers and PropTech community. 

A candid and practical conversation about how lettings is changing, what agents need to navigate that change, and where technology can make a meaningful difference.
