Specialised Category Registration
The Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA) has ruled that all specialised estate agency firms must now be registered with the PPRA and must hold a Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC) in their specific category.
These categories include:
- Managing Agents
- Auctioneers
- Developers
- Business Brokers
- Intermediaries and Facilitators
- Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs) conducting property activities
- Timeshare providers
- Property Advertising Platforms
- Bond and Bridging Finance Originators
- Payment Processing Agents
If your business falls into one of these categories, you are legally required to comply!
We understand that navigating the PPRA can be time-consuming, confusing, and frustrating. That’s exactly why we’re here. We specialise in handling PPRA registrations and compliance for firms just like yours.
We also understand that there is no formal education pathway yet available for your specialised category. You are not required to appoint a Principal Property Practitioner at this time. However:
- Any staff member who interacts with the public or handles trust account funds must hold a valid FFC.
- Directors must hold a FFC. Even directors who do not interact with the public or manage trust accounts still require FFCs as non-executive directors.
Let us handle the hassle—efficiently, accurately, and with full compliance—so you can stay focused on running your business.
