Property Services (Regulation) Bill 2009
Public bill · Government · Presented
The proposed law would create a Property Services Regulatory Authority to license and supervise auctioneers, estate agents, letting agents and property-management providers. It would require proper contracts, insurance, record-keeping and protection of clients’ money; set rules for property sales and auctions; investigate complaints; and allow penalties, licence suspensions or bans, with appeals available. A compensation fund would help clients who lose money through dishonesty, while public databases would publish residential sale prices and commercial lease information.
