Panorama Exposed the Industry – How Landlords Avoid Getting Burned

This week we’re joined by Adam Colvin, one of Avocado’s experienced partner agents, for a proper behind-the-scenes look at the estate agency world and it gets real.
Off the back of the recent BBC Panorama documentary, ‘Undercover Estate Agent’, we dig into what’s really going on in the industry, from conditional selling and pressure tactics, to what landlords and buyers need to watch out for when working with estate agents.
We also cover how to make your property investment actually work for you, how to spot red flags, and how to align with agents who actually give a sh*t.
We cover:
- What the Panorama doc got right (and what it didn’t show)
- The truth about conditional selling and backroom deals
- Red flags landlords and investors should look out for
- How to spot an agent who’s working for you, not themselves
- Why transparency matters more than ever
- How to maximise your investment as a landlord
- What agents should be doing that most aren’t
