Rob Sargent of estate agency The Acorn Group submits himself to hard questioning over his motivations to set up and fund a campaign to persuade Rightmove to change its business and pricing.

While existing estate agencies were recently given a 33% discount, firms joining the firm are to be given a full discount until the crisis is over.

Agent claims to have caught out portal by using a private email address to register for Property Alerts, an address which has now been used by Charcol to prospect for mortgage business.
