Agents come under fire - 2003 - Estates Gazette (0308) 22 February 2003, 127(1) .

Discusses "John D Wood and Co (Residential and Agricultural) Ltd v Knatchbull" (QBD Abs66468). An estate agent who failed to inform his client of a higher price on a comparable property had failed in his duty of care in marketing the property. It has important implications for estate agents and chartered surveyors who sell property for clients.
