The Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB) regulates the estate agency profession by ensuring that all persons carrying out the activities of an estate agent as a service to the public are registered with the EAAB. The EAAB has been replaced by the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA) which regulates the affairs of all property practitioners; allowing for transformation in the property sector and ensuring consumer protection against undesirable practices and conduct of property practitioners.
A Fidelity Fund Certificate, which is to be renewed each year is issued as evidence of such registration and confirmation that such person is legally entitled to carry out the activities of an estate agent.
