Obviously I'm removing libelous comments when I'm made aware of them. Apologies if it breaks the flow of the thread.

[StraferJack]

I posted a link to a thread where "property news" is extolling the virtues of a rival estate agent

Was that libellous?

[Jeremy]

Easier just to delete the account and all of his posts.

[????]

Estate agents in giving us yet another raeson to think they are, in the main, a bunch of shyster W*nkers shocker

[Loz]

I think that, if the poster is correct, the problem is quite the opposite, quids.

[MrBen]

Sorry Loz. But I'm with quids and bobster on this one. Agents airing personal grudges in public. You shouldn't be too surprised.

[Loz]

Think you missed that joke, Mr B.

[Jeremy]

Oh I get it. wanking being the opposite of wanking. It isn't really though, is it?

[monkeylite]

I am no fan of EAs, but we bought our house via KFH. That particular agent was friendly and helpful throughout the process, and did not once try to get us to offer more than we could afford even though there were other buyers baying in the background.

Now, I am aware that not every EAs are the same, and there has been agents we've met at other KFH offices and EA brands (Foxtons, anyone?) who we weren't too pleased with.

[nlem]

I'm giving KFH a double thumbs up also!

[Dodo1]

Avoid KFH like the plague. Insincere staff. Branch Manager that threatens to hold on to your keys; and this is not the worst that I have heard abut this branch.

[pinecone]

what *is* the worst that you have heard about this branch?

[Jeremy]

How about the worst that you've actually experienced, rather than more pointless rumours?

[dulwichmum]

I would just like to point out that we just sold our house through KFH in Dulwich Village and I could not recommend them more highly. They were totally on the ball, courteous, professional, nothing was too much trouble and they did not overvalue our house. The whole team were amazing.

We have put our house on the market twice in the past with other local estate agents and had complete nightmare experiences. On one occasion, with another estate agent, I returned home from work and found a couple had been given a key to our house and told to let themselves in and look around as they had bought a similar house on our street and were looking for design ideas! On another occasion, another estate agent didn't tell us that our chain had fallen apart and the packers were just arriving at our house. The chain had broken for over a week at this stage. I only found out as I met the woman who had agreed to buy our house in the street.

Trudy, Anthony and Andrea in the Village were amazing. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Still crazy, work colleague sold his top floor one bedroom flat near tainmount rise in forest hill for ?378,000 last week. Listed for ?250,000 then the bidding war started.

[MrBen]

Angus van f = estate agents.

Prices are falling and the London crash is not too far off.

[Mick Mac]

So Dulwichmum, are you leaving for pastures new ?

[Mustard]

Don't think they are falling, flat in Muschamp Rd sold for ?500k in Oct. 1013, now back on market for ?575k.

[pinecone]

sold prices are the only prices which count

[Blackcurrant]

Prices are down about 10% since the peak in spring. Unsold stuff piling up.
