I hate estate agents
I don't have much sympathy for them really. I guess though if you're buying a house, now is the time to do it. The agents are desperate for your money so they'll put more pressure on the sellers to accept anything.

Fortunately I sold my house last year just as the market was about to tumble. Agent trapped himself into a 1% commission too because he thought we'd be buying another house of his. Sadly for him somebody gazumped us on the day we were due to sign. In retrospect this was a good thing since we bought a site instead and the house is almost done. Been renting for the last year.
