Pathways to Property — Expanding Access to the Industry

Bayfield is proud to support the Pathways to Property programme, an initiative designed to open doors for students from under‑represented backgrounds and introduce them to the opportunities within the real estate sector. The scheme provides early exposure, industry insight, and practical preparation for those considering a career in property.

As part of our commitment, every Pathways to Property student receives complimentary access to Bayfield’s Introduction to Real Estate online course. This training is designed to give students a strong foundation before they step into work experience, internships, or graduate roles within real estate firms
