More Than Family Legal Services: Few Britons trust estate agents

Estate agents are among the top three least trusted professionals in the UK, More Than Family Legal Services has reported today.

Some 18 per cent of people surveyed said they did not like the idea of leaving estate agents alone in their homes, with 31 per cent saying they did not trust window cleaners and 26 per cent expressing this view about builders and decorators.

Over two thirds of Brits feel uncomfortable with estate agents showing people around their homes when they are not there, according to the survey, and 51 per cent make a particular effort to be at home when an estate agent is due to give a viewing.

More Than Family Legal Services adds that 11 per cent of people have been involved in a dispute with estate agents over issues such as payment fees and commission.

"Moving home is stressful enough without having to consider whether the person who is supposed to be assisting you is trustworthy," said Craig Allen, home insurance manager at More Than.

"While we hope that for most people, the experience of dealing with estate agents is a smooth one, there are those for whom problems do arise."

More Than Family Legal Services states that it can offer peace of mind to house movers, as it offers online legal documents, £50,000 of legal expenses cover and a helpline to assist in the resolution of disputes and the recovery of costs.

The service costs around £18 per year and can be taken up as an extension to More Than Home Insurance.
