Having rented houses for several years and looked into buying on a number of occassions, I find the fact that estate agents even exist a bit of a pain.
My question would be why, I have found sites such as Buzz Properties which allow you to sell or let your house for nothing. I have to say this seems like a great idea. As from my experience everytime I have rented a house an dealt with an agency there have been nothing but problems.
Now dealing with landlords direct is a much better way to go and if you are buying a house I know that I have personally found it easier to deal with people directly.
