Estate agents and property professionals should take note of the new Consumer Protection Act (CPA) Amended Regulations that came into effect on 15 April 2026.

If your agency uses:
• Cold calling
• WhatsApp marketing
• SMS campaigns
• Bulk emails
• Prospecting databases

…to obtain listings or market properties, these regulations may apply to you.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲?

The regulations introduce an official National Consumer Commission (NCC) “Opt-Out Registry”, where consumers can block unsolicited direct marketing communications.

Estate agencies conducting direct marketing must now:
✔ Register with the NCC as direct marketers
✔ Pay the prescribed registration and annual renewal fees
✔ Cleanse marketing databases monthly
✔ Remove consumers who opted out of direct marketing
✔ Clearly identify the agency in all marketing communications

Importantly, these regulations operate alongside POPIA and do not replace existing data protection obligations.

Non-compliance may lead to compliance notices, administrative penalties, and substantial fines.

As conveyancing attorneys working closely with estate agents and property professionals, EKA & Associates encourages agencies to review their marketing practices and ensure compliance with the latest legal requirements.

Does pre-approval mean your home loan is guaranteed? 🤔

Short answer: no - but it’s a powerful first step.

Pre-approval gives you a clear idea of what you can afford and shows sellers you’re serious - but final approval still depends on the property and a full bank assessment.

Owning a home is a keystone of wealth - both financial affluence and emotional security." - Suze Orman

Building stability for the future is about more than just numbers on a bank statement; it’s about the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family has a permanent place to grow.

A home is an imperishable asset, a solid security that provides both a foundation for your dreams and a legacy for the generations to follow.

As you head into the weekend, take a moment to reflect on what a stable home means for your family’s future. 🏠💛
