You forgot one crucial step: Blame the staff who worked past 6pm and over the weekend for not selling the property.

They bought a whole bunch of under performing branches around the docklands, within a few months they shut 2 of them down and were stalling the lease extension for my old office. No idea what their business plan was, it literally made no sense.

Already began, almost everyone i knew who worked for them has quit. They are replacing most of the experienced agents with new starters on very basic salaries.

Start a gimmicky online company, sell out for a couple of million before the losses mount up... rinse and repeat. Heard from someone a long time ago that these online agents just want to build large databases or owners information in order to sell on.... not sure if that rings true, but it makes sense.

I know of someone recently that has paid £1200 up front and had nothing but repeated fall through's due to the lack of decent filtering/qualifying potential buyers and sales progression. Heard similar stories from numerous vendors over the past 2 years, have no idea why anyone uses them.

Its around that, my old office is down around that and a few friends who work in various other branches for different firms have been reporting the same (this is London I am referring to). I am constantly seeing properties that i valued at the beginning of the year being relisted with different agents and not selling. Its far worse than what is being reported and I wont be surprised to see some negative events happening towards the end of the year :s

You do when sales are down around 70%

You have to ask yourself why suddenly agents are spending more money on advertising. Zoopla are reporting record earnings and nobody seems to realise what this really means. Its because business is at its lowest in years and every agent who can afford to is spending money on marketing in the hope it will bring business......... it wont.

Having worked for one of the brands that was bought, this was a long time coming. Countrywide bought a bunch of businesses all at the same time, most of which were terrible and had little market share... was rather strange.
