אודות פרק זה
In this episode of Lunchtime Learning, Stephen Brown talks to Silas J Lees, CEO of Wiggywam and former estate agent turned chartered surveyor turned property reform campaigner.
Silas has spent 30 years in the property industry, and the last few years digging into why UK home moves now take 20 plus weeks when they used to take 6 to 8. His research led to a 130 page white paper and a 7 pledge manifesto for reform, built around what he calls the Maverick Movement.
They talk through:
- What actually makes a good estate agent
- Why 59% of consumers do not know they are paying referral fees, and the knock on effect this has on conveyancing
- The £5.42 billion a year in unclaimed commission estate agents are walking away from
- Why 40% of first time buyers will not even enter the market
- The case for banning referral fees and moving to upfront material information
- What the Maverick Movement actually asks of agents, conveyancers and lenders who want to join
- Why writing a book might be one of the most underused authority builders in the industry
If you work in estate agency, conveyancing or mortgage advice and you are tired of watching good deals fall over, this one is for you.
