Two estate agency employees have resigned from their jobs at Savills after one of them was allegedly caught at night-time in a vendor’s property.
Theowner of the empty house, in the west country, discovered the male agent coming downstairs from a bedroom after checking on it one night.
He reported the incident to Savills, which then launched a disciplinary inquiry, but before it could reach a conclusion, he resigned whilst denying any impropriety.
Speculation mounted, however, that he had been meeting a female colleague at the house for a secret liaison, when she suddenly quit at the same time.
One source told ‘The Sun’ newspaper: “They weren’t caught doing anything but had both been to the house and they weren’t going there to show anyone around.”
A Savills spokesman confirmed the story.
Viewing with a difference?

I guess one of htem was "squating"!!!
Is this really something new? I am aware of a situation where owners emigrated to Australia leaving their Hotel empty and on the market, and the agents had 2 years of Xmas Parties at the house!
Perhaps he was carrying out an "internal inspection"
I would be the first to dob them in - regards, the office SNAKE
How rude of the vendor to just turn up!
Selling Houses At Night Time Hey What A Great Idea.... That Means I Can nOW pLAY Golf During The Daytime
We already hold Saturday Club in our office. We pop the champagne cork, give everyone a pat on the back and say well done to each other!
Gill, Kristina, Denise. SO19 8PG, 8pm! Accompanied viewing???
Perhaps they were comparing hips?!
Perhaps they were preparing the ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE?!

Perhaps in these 'hard' times we should start the Vacant Property Club! Let me know whose with me on this one!
Hi Gill. I'm with all the hard working Estate Agents too! Just goes to show there is no need for Estate Agents to join the "Mile High Club" to get their kicks! What was the postcode of the property in question? I'll set my SatNav!
Here! Here! I'm with you Brightmove!
Being an estate agent in todays market is highly stressful. We need all the perks we can get! This was a brilliant marketing ploy by two ambitious negotiators. These guys should be reinstated.
Isn't that why Estate Agents are given a key?
This is not unknown! It is common knowledge these naughty negotiators get up to all sorts in client properties!
Obviously abusing the perks of the job!!!
Definitely Sun material and possibly News of the World as well! The temptation was obviously too great - just goes to show that even Estate Agents are human!
