Hearings are held to consider more serious breaches or matters where it has not been appropriate to deal with through NFOPP’s internal disciplinary procedures.  If matters are dealt with internally they will not be published whatever the sanction(s) applied.

Tribunals are selected from the Tribunal Panel, and comprise:
  • Two property professionals. One shall act as chairman of the Tribunal, and one shall have experience of the relevant property discipline.
  • One lay member.
Sanctions available to the Tribunal and Appeals Tribunal

In order of seriousness:
  • Caution;
  • Formal warning;
  • A fine not exceeding £5000;
  • Reclassification of membership, or expulsion from membership.
Whether sanctions imposed by a Tribunal/Appeals Tribunal are published and members’ divisional branches informed depends on their level of severity. The Publications Policy can be obtained from the Regulation Department by emailing: regulation@nfopp.co.uk
