BBC News: Estate agents could face industry shake-up
The estate agent sector could face a shake-up after the release later of a key report into the UK homebuying process.
The Office of Fair Trading has been studying internet property sites, price competition between agents and consumer protection for the last 12 months. There have been calls for more regulation, as anyone can set up in business as an estate agent.
The OFT study -- due to be published at midday - is considering whether competition has improved since 2004, and whether consumers are adequately covered by new regulation.
