The Property Services Regulatory Authority is the registering authority for property in Ireland.
The Minister for Justice, by order under the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011, established the Authority on a statutory basis on 3 April 2012.
The main function of the Authority is to control and regulate Property Services Providers (that is, Auctioneers/Estate Agents, Letting Agents and management Agents).
This includes the licensing of all such services providers, the establishment of a complaints investigation and redress system for consumers, the setting and enforcement of standards in the provision of property services, the administration of client accounts, the establishment and maintenance of a compensation fund and the creation of three Public Registers.
