What do you do at work? “Well, I spend some of my time standing around holding peoples towels and dressing gowns, feeling like a pervert, because they were too lazy to put them away”

Our industry is fleeced to the bone. Money for AML, Ombudsman, this & that insurance, paying the Trading Standards bozos…..where is the oversight, the enforcement of laws and regulations? Government has no interest in regulating our industry,we are just a cow to be milked hard

James Munro either doesn’t understand the role of NTS Estate and Letting Agency Team or something else is going on. Your role is to enforce the law and through enforcement others will comply. Your inaction emboldens the rule breakers as they face no action.

The difference between Purplebricks and Boomin…. Vendors felt they needed another option, something a bit different. Buyers have no need for Boomin, they don’t give a toss about agents issues with Rightmove, they don’t need or want 4 different places to look for property.

The public think our industry isn’t regulated because that’s what they are told. The facts are #ukhousing is heavily regulated, it’s just the regulators can’t be bothered to uphold the law.

No matter how good an estate you are, how proactive and thorough you and your team are, we are always held back by the incompetence of others #ukhousing

Do you ever feel like all your property descriptions sound the same.

Should estate agents display their commission? No. Should they state what it is and what it includes when asked? Yes. If service is important to a vendor they will take the time to ask. If it isn’t they’ll use them wankers from the internet.

The #stampduty cut just encourages house prices to increase. It will do nothing for normal people

I imagine it will emerge that a family member of a government minister is currently buying a property for £424,000. #MiniBudget #ukhousing

A colleague and I were discussing accidents we’d had on viewings. I’ve tripped down stairs a couple of times and torn my trousers after falling over on someone’s drive. What embarrassing stuff has happened to you? #ukhousing

Bye bye Boomin

EAT this morning….

Does anyone wonder about the authenticity of Rightmove enquiries? On one particular property we’ve received 6 Rightmove enquiries this week and despite calling and emailing multiple times, none of them have ever answered the phone or replied to emails. It’s all a bit odd.

Agency agreements ready to go #RentersReformBill
