Property website Rightmove today reported that up to 300 estate agents were quitting the service each month as they struggled to survive the property downturn.

To put this into some kind of perspective, that's 300 a month from peak membership last year of 12,600, survivable – at that rate – for, realistically, how long? Three out of every four had either gone bust or removed because they hadn't kept up with fees. This suddenly makes a lot sense. And yet it seems like only yesterday.
