Amend excessive terms in estate agent selling contracts.

signatures
rejected

Background

Discuss the excessive terms in estate agent property selling contracts, for example the 20 week rule where you cannot go elsewhere. Or the extension to these terms. Make it legally binding to also not have a one off contract first, just have one contract in total and it must be sent back signed.

Additional details

Estate agents are holding sellers of property to ransom with the excessive 20 week rule where they cannot go elsewhere. Poor service and poor marketing do not allow a consumer to move easily to another agent.
