We have partially discussed the exemptions. I ask the Minister to consider how we avoid an issue arising when somebody claims to be actively marketing a house. I have asked for a definition. If one puts up a “For sale” sign - not an estate agent’s sign but one’s own - one can sell one's house without having to go to an estate agent. If I were to put up a "For sale" sign with my email address on it, thereby classifying it as being actively marketed for sale; would that satisfy the definition in the legislation?
