estate agent
A person who introduces prospective buyers and sellers of property to each other. Such a person may be a member of a professional body but is in any event regulated by the National Trading Standards Estate Agency Team (NTSEAT) (currently delivered by Powys County Council), under the Estate Agents Act 1979 and the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. From October 2008 all estate agents are required to be a member of an approved estate agents redress scheme, such as the Property Ombudsman. See also misdescription.
