RES exam question on Regulation & the CEA Framework: A salesperson's annual registration comes up for renewal

Which is/are correct? (i) A salesperson may practise estate agency work without any valid registration (ii) Registration is renewed periodically (annually), subject to conditions (iii) Meeting CPD requirements is relevant to renewal (iv) A salesperson must continue to satisfy fit-and-proper criteria

- B(i), (ii) and (iii)
- C(i), (iii) and (iv)
- D(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Show answer & explanation
Answer
A. (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation
(ii) is correct: registration is renewed periodically (annually) subject to conditions. (iii) is right because meeting CPD requirements is relevant to renewal. (iv) holds because a salesperson must continue to satisfy the fit-and-proper criteria.
Why the other options are wrong
- (i) is false and the trap: practising estate agency work without a valid registration is prohibited, so a lapsed or absent registration means the salesperson cannot legally act.
