I tried a similar online agent some years back. They suck if you live anywhere remotely rural. I would only try one if I lived in a major city.

Sometimes a virus is the cure, like in the mediocre blockbuster Independence Day, sometimes you need to deploy a virus to kill off oily self-serving parasites.
I thank ye - I'll be here all night folks!

I remember discussing this well over a year ago with STR.
It's got to be the way to go. With professional chain chasers, conveyancers and valuers linking in to the sites so offer their services - who needs an estate agent?
The whole business model will change, and if Rightmove are smart - they will sell out or go it alone themselves.
