No doubt about it any longer.  Estate agents are panicking.  And the proof?  Today, ours gave up his Sunday - his day off - to show prospective buyers round our house.  Such a sacrifice would have been unheard of even as short a time ago as last summer! But it's a whole different story now.  No sale = no commission.  And that means that buyers have the whip hand.  They want to see round a property at their convenience and if that means a Sunday, then so be it. 

It's bleak out there in the estate agency world.
