The UK government body responsible for regulating estate agents is...

Powys County Council

For real. And here's a Guardian article.

I'm not entirely sure how that works. The central government body responsible for it was abolished, so it got handed off to a county council. They got enough cash to hire three people. The UK spends about £140 billion on real estate each year -- not to mention house prices being basically the only allowable topic of dinner-party conversation. And it's watched over by those three people in Powys county council.
