Former Director General of The Office of Fair Trading Sir Bryan Carsberg, after a low-profile roadshow on behalf of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in which he asked as what we thought about estate agents, published his findings today, with 30 recommendations.

Unfortunately in at least one case it seems that the response was so poor that the event was cancelled. I managed to push my way past a dozen others who attended one consultation event in central London to find that even Sir Bryan didn't attend - leaving the evening to be compared by an RICS sponsor.
