Be interested to see the next incarnation of the domain. If it remains in a property guise, it will suffer from a lot of negative equity as what appears on google remains forever. Maybe a good name for a sandwich bar??? Be interested to see how the likes of 99Homes and Strike will fare in the coming winter of discontent as traditional agencies can now use both this and example and PBs woes to create doubt for vendors seeking a cheap fix.
So you can buy the domain name to a failed business that relied on customers who valued their greatest asset (their property) at less than they would spend on a meal out for 4 in a restaurant?
Oh dear me, so £99 Inc vat isn’t enough to run an estate agency?
