because umping is is an issue that people have come to me with i've unfortunately experienced it myself and what i'm trying to do is to create a system that's more transparent that's fairer for buyers and fair for sellers by creating a public database to ensure that all offers are registered with the ps um or a the property services regulatory authority and that they are clear and
transparent.
I think many of the issues that are there in relation to people over bidding with houses are essentially there because unfortunately we have such a supply deficit in this country.
Well, I was buying a house.
This is going way back as far as 2021.
And the first house that I had thought at the time, initially, I had looked at it was well within my budget.
I had gone sale agreed.
And within three and a half weeks, the house had been sold for...
four or five thousand euro more than the bid that I had put in than my final offer because unfortunately the seller and the estate agent didn't take the property off the market.
They don't have to take the property off the market.
You don't go sale agreed legally until all the written contracts are signed and exchanged.
Well, when I looked into this initially, I was told, and I've been working on this for a number of months, that it would be legally very difficult to introduce what's known as sale agreed contracts in this country.
So that's why I have gone down the route of...
looking at number one making sure that all the documentation is there and available so that when the sale process does does go through it goes through in in a timely manner but number two by ensuring that you know people have to register bids with the property services regulatory authority to make sure that there aren't ghost bids which is another issue and to have more transparency and clarity there
Well, I think if people have to go through a proper and thorough registration process, I mean, if you look at the system that they're introducing in the UK, you have to fill out, you know, you have to provide a form of identification.
You have to go on to it.
This is what they're proposing in the UK.
You have to register yourself under their anti-fraud and anti-money laundering system.
online system that they have.
And I do think that this would certainly very significantly drive down the number of ghost bids.
