Hi Trevor, what is clear is that the online agents who do the business - and have significant backing - stay for the course, as the ones who have been around for a decade (or longer) prove. As we can see, "cheaper" agents or ones who don't have significant investment, PR machines or financial clout, tend to disappear fairly quickly. Online agents don't have much of a market share at the moment, although it is growing slowly but surely. Even within that market share, it is dominated by five or six major online agencies, who have rather cornered the market. It's very difficult for new online agencies to make an impact, unless they have significant investment or well-known backers - as YOPA and PB have proven. As the first two comments by Russell and Chris show, people have different opinions about how much market share onliners will have in the future. We shall have to wait and see. Their market share has jumped quite significantly since 2014, but PB might have had something to do with that. A few years from now we will have a better idea.

Hi Mark. EstatesDirect will be featuring in a future Natter, which is why I didn't mention them here. I didn't include EweMove because they have actual branches as well as an online operation. While Purplebricks and YOPA both think of themselves as hybrids, they don't have any actual branches - which, to me, is what would separate a hybrid from an online agent. I love the EweMove name, though - still not sure what a sheep has to do with estate agency, however! As for Visum, I hadn't actually heard of them until now - which suggests their PR hasn't been as good as the others.
