Estate agents: can't live with them, can't kill them (it's still illegal sadly). What you can do however, is completely remove them from the property buying process by dealing directly with the other party through websites including Skip The Middleman. |

The service is free for private buyers and sellers because it's funded by adverts for property developers, local plumbers/gardeners and the like - a useful service in itself. If you're looking to buy or rent a property in London,
or you're just plain nosy, then Skip The Middleman can save you all
those trips to somewhere described as Clapham - but which turns out
to be nearer Clapton. |

You can see floor plans and take virtual video tours of the property, so no more blarney from agents describing a broom cupboard as a well appointed, single bedroom ripe for conversion. Could estate agents be going the same way as Discmans and Fuji Film? Well, if it gets those annoying Foxtons Gits in their Minis off the road then bring on the revolution.. |
