NAEA LICENSING SCHEME FOR ESTATE AGENTS

Early day motion 1054, tabled 18 November 2010 by Sir David Amess (Conservative). Signed by 13 members.

That this House welcomes the launch of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) licensing scheme for its members; supports the NAEA's stance in raising standards and professionalism in the estate agency industry; recognises that ethical and qualified estate agents are a presence and respected voice on Britain's high streets; believes that qualified agents help guide consumers through the complicated process of buying or selling property; notes with concern that there is no barrier to anyone setting up and practising as an estate agent; and calls on consumers to look for the NAEA logo when buying or selling a property.
