Old news - was published last year (see date) - but still good to remind ourselves of some EA practices...

How quickly this was swept under the carpet. Lest we forget.

Just like 1988.

This is nothing - the Dutch Estate Agents also run price fixing rings to protect their commissions.

By the way Dutch EAs are qualified ... and this does not stop malpractice either.
