Telegraph: Does Sarah Beeny's free property website herald the end for estate agents?

Sarah Beeny is best known for her Property Ladder TV programme, but she’s also turning into something of a web entrepreneur. As well as founding MySingleFriend.com, last year she bought into the online world with Tepilo, a site where you can list your house for sale. For free.

Yep, in the same way that AutoTrader.com killed off used car dealerships.

Online buying / selling properties does not necessarily mean the end of the EA altogether. It will just accelerate the exit of the badly run businesses, the OTT incompetent EA (Foxtons comes to mind).The UK is way behind other European countries like France where the buyer /sellers deal directly.It will happen in the UK too.
