<p>We expect that the marketing of all properties accords with the Consumer Protection
from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, which prohibits misleading omissions of key
information about the property.</p><p>Estate agents’ compliance with the law is overseen
by the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agent Team, who can issue warning
or banning orders to agents who fail to comply.</p><p>Consumers should make sure they
are clear about any restrictions on the property before purchasing, informed by checks
on the property title carried out by their conveyancing solicitor before contracts
are exchanged.</p>
