In accordance with the requirement stipulated in the Property Management Services Ordinance (Cap. 626) (PMSO), the Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) published in the Gazette today the list of licensees under the licensing regime for the property management industry (Licensing Regime) for public inspection.
The PMSA has so far received over 2,100 licence applications since the Licensing Regime came into operation on 1 August. As of yesterday (12 November), the PMSA has issued over 900 licences of property management practitioners (PMPs) and property management companies (PMCs).
Mr Tony TSE, the PMSA Chairperson said, “The Licensing Regime has been implemented for three months and the response from the industry has been positive, reflecting that the Licensing Regime is generally welcomed and recognised by the industry. Publication of the list of licensees in the Gazette can increase the transparency of operation in the industry, and strengthen monitoring and regulatory effect. It can help drive the development of the industry for enhancement in quality and professionalism, while the public can access more comprehensive information and with greater protection when selecting and engaging property management services.”
Registers for Property Management Companies (PMCs) and Property Management Practitioners (PMPs)
Apart from gazetting the list of licensees, the PMSA keeps both online and physical registers in accordance with the requirements stipulated in the PMSO whereby members of the public can readily obtain the latest information about licensed PMCs, PMPs and provisional PMPs.
The online registers are now available at PMSA’s webpage below and will be updated from time to time. The physical registers are available for inspection at the PMSA office.
