Funny, I also phoned Foxtons a few weeks ago after the 4th delivery in as many days to complain about the same thing.

I also understand that they have gone round looking for 'for sale' or 'under' offer signs in FH and made direct approaches to those vendors saying that they can get more for their properties than the appointed agents. Talk about ambulance chasing. Do we have a word for this sort of thing - ie that's printable?

In general I have found the estate agency activity is on the increase her probably due to the publicity and FH Centrale.
