Estate Agency Closures

Please use this thread to record the local demise of any of our professional friends.

Clintons on Hammersmith Broadway, London has shut its doors and whitened its windows.

I shall also keep an eye on the notorious Putney road which has about seven estate agents next to each other, including Foxtons.

    Record low for mortgage approvals http://uk.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUKBOE00140320080429

    Not surprising these dudes are shutting shop. Keep us informed.
    I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another, so please feel free to ignore this.

    Was that the little one next to the Hammersmith and City tube? I know that one went bust about 6 weeks ago.

    There is also a chain of 8 agencies that collapsed last month including one in Chiswick two down from Foxtons and another opposite Ealing Railway Station. I think they are called Lauristons or something.

    From another thread (thanks to poppy9) - Darlows, owned by Hart, closing 21 branches in South Wales
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.
