Dishonest EAs? Who would've thunk it?
Office of Fair Trading: Estate Agent Disciplinary Register
The OFT has today launched an online version of its public register listing estate agents who have been given warnings or been banned from estate agency work. The register, which can be browsed alphabetically or by date, provides a crucial tool allowing consumers to search whether the OFT has taken action against estate agents. It also provides information that can be used in order to report to the OFT suspected breaches by an estate agent of an existing warning or prohibition order.

Never been any action against Foxtons? I can't believe that ...ah ha, "Under section 6 of the Estate Agents Act 1979, anyone affected by a Prohibition or Warning Order can at any time, and on payment of a fee, currently £2,500, apply to the Office of Fair Trading for the Order to be varied or revoked."

Only 13 for 2008! I do find that hard to believe but as 666 post implies, all you have to do is pay £2500 and get your name removed. Seems like the OFT are as unscrupulous as the agents on the disciplinary register. .
Complete bloody stupid.
