PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Estate agents are pretty much the lowest of the low. Do not trust a single word they say.
    Some might say the same about mortgage brokers!

    "Whole of market" (Except for the mortgage suppliers that won't let us use them)

    "Free" (But have you noticed there is a fee attached to organising the mortgage, I'm sure it's nothing to do with how we are paid)

    With estate agents, take a look at their terms and conditions and do not accept them at face value. Fees can be negotiated. Terms can be reduced.

    If I had a 'letter through the door' about a particular client then I'd want the terms stripped down in my favour.
