Authority of an estate agent Duties of the estate agent Misrepresentations, misdescriptions and negligent misstatements Remuneration of the agent Consumer protection and related laws

The law of estate agency for both residential and commercial sectors is almost entirely to be found in cases. Fundamental issues such as scope of the agents authority, duties and responsibilities to the client, potential liability to third parties, not to mention entitlement to commission can only be understood through case law. For example the decision in John D Wood & Co (Residential and Agricultural) v Knatchbull (2003) has a fundamental impact on the advice and agent is expected to give to a client. There are over 100 other cases referred to throughout this book with clear and concise commentary throughout to ensure that you can understand how these decisions affect your responsibilities and your business.
