WRITTEN QUESTION TO

THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE

BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST. HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 13th NOVEMBER 2023

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 20th NOVEMBER 2023

Question

“Will the Minister advise whether any consideration either has been, or is being, given to requiring Estate Agents operating in the Island to undertake exams to ensure a sufficient understanding of Jersey’s legislation; and, if not, why not?”

Answer

No consideration has been given to requiring Estate Agents to undertake exams to ensure they possess a sufficient understanding of Jersey’s legislation;

To the best of my knowledge there is no specific training on Jersey’s legislation relating to Estate Agency activity and property sales. There are Property Mark Qualifications that can be gained in UK property law but these are not compulsory to have to engage in estate agency work.
