Real Estate Agents and You.

May 7, 2008

There are several major rules that might be helpful in your relation with estate agents:

1. Find an agent which belongs to an Ombudsman’s scheme
2. Be aware of the agents’ legal obligations
3. Remember the agent is working for the seller, not the buyer
4. Complaints about agents should be made to your local authority’s trading standards office
5. If the agent cannot sort out a problem and he is signed up to the OEA code of practice, you can take your complaint to the Ombudsman
6. Do not use the same legal adviser as the seller

In case if it all goes wrong who can you complain to?

For a long time, many consumers have been frustrated by the fact that the estate agency industry is self-regulated. The Ombudsman for Estate Agents offers a complaints service for its member agencies. The ombudsman can award compensation and publishes a list of members on its website. Under the government’s Consumer Act, all estate agents have to belong to an industry body with an ombudsman scheme attached.

This should boost consumer access to a complaints resolution procedure. Prior to the legislation, many large estate agency groups did not belong to a industry body or the ombudsman scheme.

Very Close.

March 14, 2008

Economic state today is not in a hopeless condition yet but really is very closed to it. This is a reality. The US Dollar, has been losing value for many years, but lately the results of this sad state of affairs have become increasingly more evident, writes Sheldon Liber in his columns Chasing Value and Serious Money. Concerns are mounting on a global basis not just in the United States. The euro, once pegged at a buck, is now trading at $1.55, while gold has passed $1,000 and oil has continued its charge, breaking through the $110 per barrel mark.

By Sheldon Liber opinion, the only way to reduce inflation is to have a balance between the amount of currency in circulation and the goods and services available to purchase with said currency. Every action by the Fed to create liquidity in the economy, generates a phantom value, and if not met with an increase in productivity, is devaluing the dollar and enslaving us to a future of working more for less benefit. That is why I so strongly believe we should fund roads & bridges NOT mad money stimulus. For more discussion you can also read Serious Money: Stimulate productivity not consumption, which I believe is an imperative. That is the gravity of the situation.

Sheldon Liber is the CEO of a small private investment company and the principal for design and research at an architecture & planning firm.
