Clause 4Other duties of person acting as estate agent
Homes Bill
3:15 pm
Mr Chris Mullin (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions; Sunderland South, Labour)
I shall take the hon. Member for Cotswold's second point first. I believe that what I told him this morning is correct, but I shall check it. If I learn anything to the contrary, I will let the hon. Gentleman know.
The hon. Gentleman talked about several agents being invited to tender for business and asked at what point they would be deemed to market a property. Clause 1(6) clarifies the position: marketing occurs when a property is
advertised or otherwise communicated...to the public or to a section of the public.
I shall not detain the Committee further on a matter that we have discussed exhaustively.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 4, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
