    Ask them for advice on why you've had no viewings.
    Get a friend to test them out to make sure they mention your property when they make enquiries...

    Yes I would change estate agents. It may not be their fault that you have had no viewings, as the market is very depressed, however they should have communicated with you more regularly. It sounds like they have given up on your property and can't be bothered.

    Why have you stayed with them so long? Don't lock yourself into a long contract with an agent, I tend to just do 8 weeks, then if they are no good, you can sack them.

    I don't think you have anything to lose from having a fresh start with a new agent.

    yes i would change but first ask what advertising they have done on your property and how many enquiries they have had.
    Saying Thank You doesn't cost anything :beer:
