do you need a licence to sell property in the uk?

Question

I know in the US you have to get a real estate licence. Is this the same case in the UK?

Answer 1

You don't need a license to sell property that you personally own. You do require a license to sell someone else's property, just as in the US. At least licensing is handled on a national level in the UK, unlike as in the US where you would need 51 separate licenses to sell in all 50 states and DC.
