FIAIP and the cancellation of the agents’ role
After a meeting with an all party committee, the omens are good that Italy will decide not to adhere to the request for the abolition of the role of ‘agente immobilaire’ as requested by the European Directive on Services throughout the Europe zone. FIAIP has pointed out repeatedly that the abolition of the need for an agent to be registered would lead to a free for all which could only harm the consumer (buyer) and the profession needs more regulation, not less. There will be a ruling next week which will confirm the governments intended action.
