dont argue for the sake of arguing, when i said i know of a couple around here, what i meant was quite literally anecdotal evidence from talking to estate agents (or rather, people i know who work for/as estate agents) about how they believe that a flat fee system would be better for the housing market, as charging a percentage encourage both inflated prices and gazumping

I can't see how it is even a factor.
People gazump because they really love the house/flat in question. Estate agents can try to inflate all they want but the market is not a monopoly and buyers try to offer less at any and all opportunities.
