Unlike retail habits where consumers regularly buy the same goods from the same store, we never have any idea when someone is going to buy or sell so you have to be in their face all the time and by every means possible from high visibility branches and boards through to social media and community events. And yes I include local newspapers in that (just compare your vendor demographics to those of local newspapers).

The online model only really works for homeowners in an easy sale market. When it toughens up and they sit there with no viewings and no contact having paid up front, it suddenly loses its appeal. Full service agents, doing what they do best, ie SELLING property to people and then working hard to get the sale through, will always win in this type of market and that market won't change anytime soon.

No mention that that those agent additions are still with OTM, typical pro Z/anti OTM spin. No wonder there's no engagement or debate on EAT. Simple fact is that people in our area are only interested in RM, not OTM or Z. A lot of agents on OTM still have bitter memories of them selling themselves as being a fairer and far cheaper option to RM but then stuffed the agents they got by just being a RM clone.

Spot on Simon. No mention of D&G staying with OTM either in the newsflash yesterday giving the impression they'd dumped them. That's why there's a pitiful lack of engagement or debate on here compared to EAT's rival PIE. Pitiful unless there's an anti OTM story of course.

Very good point Sophia. What's equally as relevant is that this worsen the 'bedroom blockers' situation. It is difficult enough for some older homeowners to be motivated to move, a huge SDLT bill will be a massive deterrent. All this proposal is doing is switching the burden to one set of people from another, it is not addressing the fundamental problem ie that it is a tax on London and the South East. If you are 2.5- 3 hours drive from London you can buy a 3 bed semi for less than £125,000 and pay no SD, in our area (one of the cheaper home counties) it'll cost you 4 times that and you'll have to find £15,000.
