Guidance Note: Material Information for Estate Agents

This Guidance Note examines the responsibilities of Estate Agents to provide "Material Information" in property listings for sale. This is essential for helping potential buyers make informed decisions about purchasing a property. 

Material information is defined as “information which the average consumer needs, according to the context, to take an informed transactional decision.” Essentially, it includes any details that might impact a consumers choice to buy a property.

The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs) set the standards that Estate Agents must meet to ensure transparency and fairness in their dealings with potential buyers. These regulations are designed to protect consumers from deceptive practices and ensure they receive all necessary information to make well-informed decisions.
