this is what recently happened to my sister but might be a warning for those of you currently trying to sell.
my sister was a bit miffed at the lack of viewings so looked online to see if there were any other properties in her area up for sale.
what she spotted was an advert by an agent different to hers using a photo of HER HOUSE for a property over the road that was up for rent. no wonder buyers werent interested, on one site her house is for sale yet on another its up for rent.
she called this other agent and let rip and they promised to remove it ASAP (she was wise enough to keep an offline copy of it).
they can face a hefty fine for doing this. trading standards are currently dealing with the situation.

There's someone in my head, but it's not me
