National Trading Standards has withdrawn the Material Information guidance, but letting agents are still required to disclose all material information under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCC Act). Enforced by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the act allows penalties for non-compliance. While there is no checklist, full transparency remains the standard. The updated rules outline key areas of material information agents must continue to disclose to stay compliant.
