When I was an estate agent in mid 80s on Reading I was an area manager – I had sales negs working for me who were earning 25K a year had a company car with a petrol card and pension private health care. Looking at the inflation index 25K then would be about 85k today. The people who worked for me were real sales people. They would be on the phone all day ringing potential vendors and buyers. They would knock on doors of houses on the market to see if we could help. They would go to the library and go at the electoral roll to get names of homeowners whose homes were on the market and look the number up in the phone book and ring to try to get through the door to sell our service. That is what they were expected to do. As a developer now I see none of this. I have had schemes ion the market and not been contacted by any other agent that the one acting. Companies now do not want to pay a good salary. Competition has reduced fees and I guess profitability and the ability to pay a good salary. The result I think is that ambitious people go to other better paid professions.

The govt has no money it is taxpayers money paid for by people whom work and in the uk have an average salary of less than 25 k per annum. Anyone who has kids they cannot afford to pay for clearly is feckless and irresponsible I do not expect anyone to pay for my own lifestyle choices . You have absolutely no idea what he does with his salary – It is not MY or any other taxpayer responsibility to pay for other people’s choices. It is total entitlement to expect something for free. If you want something pay for it. I don’t expect to have things I cannot pay for

He expects the govt = me a taxpayer to pay for everyone else’s children. I work to look after my own family not everyone else’s. When I was a kid I was taught by my parents that it was my responsibility to look after myself and my family and that if I cannot afford something I cannot have it. Kids a are a choice. I and my wife would love to have a lot of kids but we understood how much they cost and wanted to give the kids we have the best opportunities we can. That is why we just had 2 kids. All the money that would be needed to pay for everyone else kids would come from taxpayers. The average salary in the uk is less than 25k. If the govt pays for food for everyone’s kids this will only com e from more taxes. So this guy on his300k a week wants people earning a low wage and struggling to get my to pay more tax for his little crusade. If he cares so much about these kids why does he not set the example and take his first weeks salary in the year and donate the rest to the pay for free food for other peoples kids. He will of course never do that. I would have respect for him if he gave the message that kids are a parents responsibility and that people need to think if they can afford to look after them before they have a kid. This is just the age on entitlement. So many people seem to think that the govt – taxpayer has to make their life perfect. If you want kids – work – pay for them.

You say that other peoples opinions are unwelcome - sorry but other are entitled to an opinion - you do not have the right to tell other what they are allowed to say or not say. As for pressure - it is not pressure - pressure and stress if what some of my family had to do is WW2 flying planes and being on destroyers. Kicking a ball about is nothing - it is a game - no one died - it is not a big deal. In the pub I was in within a few minutes of the end people were laughing and joking and had got over it No excuse for such nonsense aimed at the players on social media of course

Marsden himself says: his absence of agency experience is not only not a disadvantage, but may be a positive advantage. He states: “I’d never worked in property, but this in fact gives me a unique perspective to the industry and changing the way things are done and the products that are used. “Let’s make the process of buying or selling a home as easy as selling a car. “I see a future where the customer journey is streamlined and modified, using technology, wherever appropriate, to irradicate the overwhelming feeling of doom and gloom when you start looking to buy, sell or rent a home.

When I worked for someone else I turned my phone off at the end of the day and weekends. A job is just a job what is more important is family and friends.

Please stop advertising your company all the time, it is monotonous. There is no need to make rude comments to someone who you do not know and have never met when you know nothing at all about them or their business. It is infantile trolling. I am a house developer. Searches do not slow down our transactions. We differentiate ourselves by building a very high spec house akin to Berkeley Homes standard. We ask our buyers to use our recommended sols who are on the case and with whom we meet prior to launch and show around the site. That takes a day as a rule. Last year 92% of our transactions that were not using Help to Buy exchanged within the 28 day exchange that we expect. H2B slows the process down - now that is is 437.600 in the Home Counties that eliminated that issue. Most delays we have are caused when a buyer does not use our recommended sols and they are low to raise enquiries or just slow generally. The fact is if I had £1 for every time I have heard someone "we are going to do house sales differently" I would be billionaire.

Difficult one - whilst i see the argument for an agent not disclosing fees up front I have worked for companies where the fee was to an extent dictated by the vendor's ability to negotiate. So what tended to happen was young professionals who were confident about negotiating got a far cheaper fee than an old couple who were not as street wise. I so not think that can be morally justified. No way would I ever pay 2-3% there are plenty of good agents who charge less than that. As a developer I have paid between 1-1.5% the higher figure when selling in experience ares where I valued the experience and client base of companies such as Savills, Knight Frank etc I have also sold in less expensive areas where a local independent has charged 1% and got a higher price than the valuation of other more expensive agents.

No it should not - if they do not meet the lender's criteria they should sell and buy something they can afford. Loads of people fraudulently filled in mortgage forms during self cert. They are responsible for their own situation. "but unfairly – immorally – hundreds of thousands of their victims were left without adequate help, trapped in their mortgages and the financial misery caused by it. And they have been forgotten ever since” says Lewis." What is immoral is lying

From:

I do not see what difference a qualification will make , The most difficult part of the job is gaining instructions. If a house is on at the right price it will sell. Negotiating with a buyer is the easiest part of the process. Valuations are subjective opinion. There will always be differences in opinion. Some agents will still overvalue to get an instruction. The only thing I think agents should get more knowledge of is legal issues and what a solicitor can / should to to resolve them.

Whoooooooooo you can be rude to me ion a screen man. LOL Yiou know nothing whatsoever about me so I cannot understand why you presume to so do. I wear mask when I am in shops pubs etc. Does the virus stress me or worry me ? No. I follow advice and respect others feeling with something that is serious and which some people are concerned very about, far more than I am. I am 32 I do not rail against my life and I am not envious of my parents. As for your example of a buyer withdrawing - that happened me me once. Was I stressed? No. I accepted it as part of life and a minor irritation. I put the place back on the market and got on with life. It cost me a few£ but i did not see it as a big deal - no one died, there was not real disaster. I agree totally that had help been available for people with PTSD after WW2 it would have helped some people. My own great grandfather both of whom are still about do not talk about it- never have . However to compare losing a buyer to war and battle induced PTSD to losing a sale on a house is incomprehensible to me. I think that all that matters is the heath of the people I love as long as they are well and happy nothing is going to bother me, certainly not moving house.

"But that's not comparing like for like. You're taking a very extreme situation to minimise the stress involved with a house sale or purchase, which can be very high thanks to the sums of money involved, the delays, the amount of paperwork that is still required." Sorry I have bought and sold houses. It is not a big deal. This is pandering to the snowflake mentality where everyone wants what they want and they want it now and are entitled to it and life has to be easy. When I have stress of any sort I deal with it. I do not need to have my hand held by anyone or told to mediate. I think about solutions and get on with it. deal

The way we breathe has a powerful effect on how stressed we feel and meditation can help to relieve that stress” My great grandfathers were on destroyers for 5 years during WW2 - my grandmothers were in London during the blitz - moving house is not a big deal

Paul, I agree 100%. Most people have a good idea what their house is worth. If they do not they can get a load of free valuations and put it in a web site. If a house is on at the right price it will get interest and sell. Selling a house is not rocket science.

That is not inevitable it is a wish. It will not happen. A vendor is not remotely interested in the estate agents problems. For years agents have competed on price to get instructions. Many vendors are themselves going to be in very straitened circumstances. Many will choose an agent on price. With people moving less there will be less instructions which will ensure agents do not increase fees.

I used to be an agents but am no longer. There is no way any agent would ever get more for a house than I could myself in terms of price. I know what my house is worth and if I get a lower offer I will just reject it. Same as I have done when selling a car. I have looked at the guides, put it out there. If I get a lower figure than reasonable I say no and wait for a buyer who is prepared to pay the realistic figure. Negotiating a price is not rocket science I did that for many years. The value in an agents is matching motivated buyers to a property. There is no evidence to confirm that one agent gets a higher figure than any other.

From the outside looking in - I know the value of my own house. I am perfectly capable of showing a prospective purchaser around and communicating. I know what price I will or will not accept. Having bought and sold many times I know the process so have no issues chasing a sale through. My house is worth around 900k. At 1.5% plus VAT - £16,200. I would have no issue in using it.

No it is not a tech business it is a people to people business. Most people under 26 are not those who are buying a house anyway. I do not need a committee to seel anything. My company uses IT but the most important thing we ever do is pick up a phone and talk to people. When I interview anyone I tell them that much of their job will not be looking at a screen it will be talking to people like an adult. That does scare some off, others join and have to leave as they do not like that aspect and want to push a keyboard all day. That is communication - sending a e mail is not communication. I do not want people who can use excel or word I want sales people who can build relationships.

It was tried on 2nd hand and did not work. There is a huge amount of paperwork involved and many brokers especially those who are frantically busy do not want to get involved or to take on additional staff to deal with it. Same applies to some lawyers I have come across. Also it takes a long time to get processed. If I was acting for a vendor and had a buyer who wants to use H2B my advise to them would be to keep the property on the market and look for a buyer who did not need to use H2B.

A nail in a coffin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I wish you had been working in my area. Boards are the best marketing there is. Looking at RM does not make a buyer more sophisticated whatsoever. Boards do more to increase brand awareness than anything else. When I was in the business I constantly had vendors marketing with me as I had more sold boards up than anyone else. Cost of board - pennies - cost of RM - scandalous

No thanks the very last thing I want on my phone as I walk to the pub is a load of stuff popping up. Many people particularly more mature people are not obsessed with their phones they have a life. in fact I am most of my buddies do not even take a phone out when we are going for a meal/drink/sports event. Believe it or not I know 3 friends who are aged less than 50 who have never owned a mobile phone and have no need for one. I currently have 5 clients who do not have a mobile phone. To me boards are highly visable and not an irritant they offer subliminal advertising day after day after day.

WHO CARES Democracy is that every person is entitled to one vote which is not more or less important than any other persons single vote. That is how democracy works. It is fine to make ignorant rude comments about older people because you did not get what you want but that shows your stupidity and lack of class. I would argue that an older person who has life experience and has lived is far more knowledgeable about the world than a snowflake child who has done nothing other than go to school or college and debate in the college bar. As for the presumption that leaving the EU will be a disaster no one can foretell the future. We we all told that as soon as the vote was to leave there would be an Apocalypse. Yea ok.

I am amazed at the amount of time people spend talking about PB. They are an insignificant payer inn the market., There is not one location in which they are the market leader. PB will never be a major player but they will always take a few instructions which hurt real agents. They will also drive fees down has they already have. I am, surprised that as yet no portal has been lanced for vendors upload their property for sale then do all viewings etc themselves. Whilst I am aware that this has pitfalls for vendors in terms of sales progression etc I am sure there is a market fpr such a platform that would take far more instructions than PB.
