Kate Faulkner OBE is one of the UK’s leading property experts. She passionately believes that many issues in the residential property market can be resolved through collaboration between the media, industry, and government to educate consumers on managing property projects. To facilitate this, Kate founded the free consumer education site Propertychecklists and working groups for Home Buying and Selling and The Lettings Industry Council, attended by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
Kate is a familiar face on BBC TV and radio, regularly appearing on programs such as You and Yours and Moneybox. She has also been featured on ITV’s This Morning and co-hosted LBC’s Property Hour. Kate collaborates closely with journalists nationwide to ensure their reporting is accurate and up-to-date, which is challenging given the varying housing policies across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England.
To provide the best advice to consumers, industry, media, and government, Kate meticulously analyzes economic trends, property prices, rents, and their impacts.
Through her business, Propertychecklists., Kate offers consumers independent, up-to-date advice on buying, selling, renting, investing, renovating, maintaining, or building a property. This service is supported by forward-thinking companies and organizations, such as Belvoir, Habito, Reeds Rains, Your Move, Barratt Homes, Direct Line, Big Yellow, Landlord Action, Chase de Vere, and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
