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.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to provide for the establishment of a body, to be known as An tÚdaras Rialála Seirbhísí Maoine, or in the English language the Property Services Regulatory Authority, to control and supervise the providers of property services, to cause any complaints against those providers to be investigated and to adjudicate on any such complaints; to provide for the establishment of a body to be known as An Bord Achomhairc um Sheirbhísí Maoine, or in the English language the Property Services Appeal Board, to hear and determine appeals against certain decisions of the Authority; and to provide for taking account of Directive 2006/123/ec in so far as it relates to property services; to provide for the consequential repeal or amendment of certain enactments and the revocation of a statutory instrument; and for related matters.
