• Dying high streets
• Political uncertainty
• Uncontrolled inflation
• Speculation on interest rates
• Decrease in transaction numbers
• Extended average transaction times
• Rising compliance demands
• Increasing regulation and checks
• Legislation concerning landlords and rentals
• Landlords selling properties
• Estate agent regulation
• Rising costs
• Salary expectations
• Recruitment challenges
• Fee pressure

Moreover, there are numerous options to digest, analyse, and decide upon:

• Which technology to embrace and what to avoid
• The outsourcing scope: complete, partial, or retain in-house?
• How to optimise the marketing mix for maximum ROI on communications
• Whether to adopt new models like self-employment or stick with the traditional
• Determining if it’s the right time to transition away from the high street, and how to combat competition’s claims of closure
• The organisation structure – which is better: small teams of specialists or everyone a generalist?
• Effective prospecting and lead generation
• Navigating the abundance of suppliers to ensure selection of the right ones, and determining essential contract terms
• Geographic expansion or diversification of services, including mortgages, land & new homes, surveys, and conveyancing
  • And many more…
