地產代理監管局
●
2015/16
年報
This is the third report I present as the Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”) of the Estate Agents Authority (“EAA”). During the year
2015/16, the property market experienced a deep dive and
the business of the estate agency trade was notably affected.
Under these volatile market conditions, the EAA was dedicated
to monitoring the trade’s practice more closely, promoting the
professionalism of the trade through continuous training, and
enhancing consumer education. Here I would like to give a brief
account of our work on various fronts over the year.
Market overview
The property market experienced a dramatic drop despite a
higher number of licensees in the year. The total number of
property transactions amounted to 62,438 in 2015/16, which was
31% lower than the figure in 2014/15. The total consideration has
also dropped by 27% to around $449 billion. This has proven to
be a hard time for the trade.
That said, the number of individual licences has slightly increased
to 37,138 as of 31 March 2016, representing a 3.6% increase over
that of the previous year, and the overall number of candidates
participating in the qualifying examinations also showed a slight
increase compared to that in 2014/15. The number of candidates
actually sitting the Estate Agents Qualifying Examination has
increased by about 0.3%, while an increase of about 20.6% was
seen in the case of Salespersons Qualifying Examination.
With a higher number of licensees and fewer proper ty
transactions during the year, it is not hard to notice that there
was severe competition amongst the trade. Nonetheless, the EAA
has spared no effort to regulate the trade’s practice and to raise
their professional standard, regardless of how challenging the
operating environment had been.
行政總裁匯報
Report of the Chief Executive Officer
這是本人以地產代理監管局（「監管局」）
行政總裁身份發表的任內第三份報告。
於
2015/16
年度，物業市場交投急轉直
下，地產代理行業的業務明顯受挫。在
市況波動下，監管局會更密切監察業界
的執業手法、透過持續培訓提升業界的
專業水平，同時加強消費者教育。本人
現簡述本局於年內各個方面的工作。
市場概況
儘管年內持牌人數目有所上升，物業市
場卻大幅下滑。
2015/16
年度的整體物業
交易只有
62,438
宗，較
2014/15
年度下跌
31%
。買賣合約總值亦下跌
27%
至
4,490
億元水平，足見業界經歷了艱辛的一年。
縱然如此，截至
2016
年
3
月
31
日，個人
牌照的數量較去年同期微升
3 . 6%
至
37,138
個，而參與資格考試的考生人數
亦較
2014/15
年度微升，實際應考地產代
理資格考試的人數上升約
0.3%
，而應考
營業員資格考試的人數則上升
20.6%
。
年內，在持牌人數高企而物業交投數字
減少的情況下，不難發現行業競爭激
烈。無論如何，即使經營環境面臨百般
挑戰，監管局仍會竭盡全力，繼續規管
業界的執業及提升其專業水平。
