That is very true.
Although I do work in estate agency (please, no abuse) we will accompany viewings until 7pm weekdays and all day both Saturday and Sunday.

At the moment if someone wants to view something, most estate agents can't afford not to show them around.

That's what I'd have thought
Most of the decent lettings around here are through independant landlords or small estate agents though.
