The organisation is in its infancy so perhaps this matter may not be relevant and I ask Mr. Ensor to tell me if it is not. A number of people in the real estate business informed me recently that the property register is not up to much with regard to entering the price of houses. It does not detail the number of bedrooms or the style of house. It might cover the square footage but it does not provide the type of information necessary to protect its integrity. It should be like booking an airline ticket whereby if one does not have all of the boxes ticked and completed properly, one should not be able to register the price of a property. Auctioneers and real estate agents and, in particular, valuers find it very frustrating. This may have nothing whatsoever to do with Mr. Ensor's organisation or it may have a role in an advisory capacity.
