We all know that house prices are at a ridiculous all time high, and even couples who both work, find it hard to get on the property ladder. For years now they have been recommending inflated figures to boost their commision levels. It was estate agents who decided what council tax band your property should come under, which has resulted in many people paying more council tax than they should. I phoned my council and was told the work was contracted out to estate agents and they stood at the end of the road and Guessed the worth of all the houses including mine. I wonder how much that cost the taxpayer.Their earnings are a closely guarded secret and is it any wonder. They are not accountable to anyone and continue to make a fortune from selling houses.
