In fairness to you I am not fully sure what you are saying.
But, in fairness to me, if you are saying that estate agents are the reasons that house prices are incredibly high then i would like you to consider the following (i'm putting it in numbers because I like lists, as a friend i hope you'll forgive me)
1) houses are just like every other product you can buy except that they aren't built in factories and their numbers are fundamentally limited.
2) Britain is a small amount of land
3) People care an awful lot about where they live, they obsess about houses, they fall in love with them
4) Distance = Time. People have finite time and will not waste it travelling
5) 'estate agents' are several independant companies all trying to beat each other. they don't have a cartel or a 'smoke filled room'. they follow the market.
