Misleading headline suggests that 28% of sales fall through between exchange and completion which is clearly not the case.

As a small independent I concur with Ian White when he says “I do think the charging model requires a price per listing approach as currently it is very unfair that a small business with 10 listings pays the same as a branch with 40 listings.” It is the single most irksome gripe I, and I know other industry colleagues, have with the current portal set up and if the portals were to introduce such an arrangement, at a sensible price, agents would be more likely to use their services.

Having been in the business for over 30 years I have seen many peaks and troughs but the present flatline marketplace we are facing in North London is unprecedented. Many of my industry colleagues who have as much or even greater experience than I are in agreement. So why are we in this state of inactivity? The uncertainty of Brexit and penal stamp duty costs are we feel the main factors coupled with the wind being taken out of a previously over priced market. Some might disagree but with mortgage interest rates still so low there is little else we can point our finger at.

Letter of intent; free listings...it's the only way OTM will ever reach their target of being No.2 if ever. We are an independent one office outfit who used to be on both RM and Z, but with stock levels in London at an all time low we had to make some cost savings on the portal front. Having sought responses from both our client and applicant listings we decided to drop RM effectively freeing ourselves up for the cheaper OTM. Their sales team have been on the case trying to enlist us but frankly even though we are now a single portal firm we still passionately hate the 'only one other' dictact that is their mantra. Independents are just that and don't like to be dictated to. The advent of OTM and their policy has actually split the marketplace with many buyers and sellers unaware that if they rely on searching one portal only they will only get to see a portion of what is out there. In my view OTM have actually done more harm than good.
