If the estate agents don't make you wanna commit murder in the house-buying process, the solicitors and surveyors combined will :roll:

They were all fine when we moved. The issue we had was with the bitch who was selling the first house we were going to buy. It all fell through because of her lies. The estate agent and ourselves were furious. [/long story]

Ooooo do tell.

And for the record I think Estate Agents are scum. Maybe its the ones around here but when I've been to viewings they've said things like (when there's been a bit of a hole in the floor) "well the bed will go over there anyway".

Yes but a bed in the living room, over the mine entrance. :D

The best way to shake up that particular industry IMHO is to use a machine gun. :twisted:

Estate Agents are cun*s, devious lying cun*s, obsessed with screwing people over for a few quid, fu*k the lot of them, cun*s.

The "profession" (that's like saying prostitution is a profession, only the worst thing that will happen with a prostitute is that he/she will steal or your money, slash you with a knife and give you aids/vd/herpes like didn't happen to me when I was 23 in Blackpool) needs regulating, and because estate agents aren't human it should be ok to kill them.

Estate agents are just one of many parasitic service industries out there.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Yes and they really do not add much to society.
