Property Norway believes that the ministry can stop at a number of of the Property of the Norwegian proposal to amend, without that it requires treatment in a comprehensive range.

In the attached proposed changes (attachment 1) we have in this letter pulled out what we believe is a proposal that will quickly lead to simplifications, renewal, security of transactions and better consumer protection.

For more extensive arguments relating to the proposals, then we refer to the full report submitted to the ministry in 2015. We have for the sake added it by this letter on the new (Attachment 2).

Eiendomsmeglerens role as an independent intermediary based on a solid consumer protection. There is usually no contradiction between the industry’s interests and protection of consumers. The law contains a comprehensive and positivrettslig forbrukervernregulering, and some of the endringsforslagene pertaining to such rules. When the event of such amendments, it builds consistently on the that the current regulation does not provide real forbrukerverneffekter or that the effect is so limited that the costs do not stand in a reasonable relationship.
