Trust me I'm an Estate Agent - You Don't need a Survey

Trust me I'm an Estate Agent is a phrase we hear time and time again along with Estate Agents saying "You Don't Need a Survey"

Estate Agents are in an industry that is driven by sales and incentives and it is sometimes hard to trust what the friendly estate agent says when you know they are really acting for and incentivised to sell properties. In many cases, it feels like nothing else is important to the Estate Agent.  

Did you know that Estate Agents are protected by English law? -  “caveat emptor” this means "buyer beware" so they can literally say and do what they want in many cases.

For some reason the estate agent industry has never been fully regulated.
