Michael Gove has been reappointed as Housing Secretary following the departure of Simon Clarke.
Gove was previously sacked from the post by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in one of his last acts in the role.
Since then the UK has seen Greg Clark and Simon Clarke fill the post.
Timothy Douglas, Head of Policy and Campaigns for Propertymark, said: “The Levelling Up agenda and reforms to the private rented sector in England would appear to be back and will take centre stage in the new Government as Michael Gove returns to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
“Mr Gove previously focussed on regional disparities and fixing the cladding scandal, but he now needs to go further and tackle the supply crisis in the private rented sector, implement the next steps for leasehold reform, set out the UK Government’s plans for home buying and selling as well engage with the sector to get more people onto the housing ladder and stimulate right sizing to release large, family homes.”
