Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007

The Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007 (c. 17) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Background

Before the act was passed, two thirds of estate agents fell under the Ombudsman for Estate Agents, a voluntary scheme set up by the industry.

Provisions

The Property Ombudsman's scheme is an official redress scheme under the act. Letting agencies are not required to belong to a scheme under the act.

The act also established Consumer Focus, replacing Energywatch, Postwatch and the National Consumer Council, as a public body to represent consumers.
