It's not the fault of the agents that your house is not selling. It's the greedy banks that have ruined the market encouraged by Gordon Brown, who said two years ago that he wanted Britons to 'spend their way out of recession' Agents are victims of this policy and are suffering hard right now.
So to me it looks like you are encouraging people to kick people when they' re down. These are people that if they have n't been made redundant are literally struggling to pay their mortgages! Most are good honest people. There are rotton apples but no more than say any other proffession.
I'm glad I'm out of the UK property market as the fees are derisory compared to just about any other part of the world, coupled with the fact that our reputation is unjustifiably poor. Estate Agents in OZ have a good reputation as they do in the states. Although niether are any more professional and offer much less value for money.
If you have to have a go a someone why not pick on Bankers. How do they justify their incomes and Lawyers never met a poor one of either!
