There are three types of licences:
 

(i) Estate agent's licence (individual);
(ii) Estate agent's licence (company);
(iii) Salesperson's licence.

What type of work can I do once I have a licence?
 
The holder of an estate agent's licence (individual) can carry on the business of estate agency work in the capacity of a sole proprietor, a partner of a partnership, a director of a company or an employee of another licensed estate agent.
 
Whether the agency business is in the form of a sole proprietorship or a partnership or a company, a statement of particulars of business must be applied for each place of business under each business name. The statement must be displayed at the relevant place of business.
 
For partnerships, at least one partner must hold a valid estate agent's licence. Partners who do not do estate agency work are not required to obtain an estate agent's licence; however, all partners must be fit and proper.
 
Each estate agency office shall be under the effective and separate control of a manager, who shall be the holder of an estate agent's licence (individual).
 
A licensed salesperson may only perform estate agency work as an employee of, and under the supervision of, a licensed estate agent.
