You may be aware that the comments section for each story on EYE closes twenty-four hours after publication. This has meant that the discussions on some stories come to a premature end, which seems rather a pity.

So now we have a new section in EYE called ‘Keep the conversation going’. You’ll see it flagged up on the banner between the days’ headlines on the homepage.

Where we see that a story is attracting ongoing comments we will add the story to the new section and allow the comments to run their natural course. As and when the conversation runs out of steam future commenting will be halted.

We have started the section with three stories from the past week that you may like to re-engage with and add your further comments.

Firstly, there is an article about a prediction made this week by one of the City’s leading economists that there is currently no way of avoiding a 1990s-style slump in the housing market, with property prices likely to fall by up to 25%.

Secondly Rob Hailstone’s piece about how estate agents could perhaps be the catalyst for improving the home buying and selling process. What is your reaction to his proposals?: https://propertyindustryeye.com/could-estate-agents-be-the-catalyst-to-improving-the-home-buying-and-selling-process/

Finally, there’s story in which an agent blew his top about the ‘pay-to-list/pay-anyway’ agencies. Although the comments gravitated towards the conveyancing process, the piece was really more about the overall poor level of service and expertise that our correspondent finds when dealing with these type of agencies.
