Estate agency chiefs say they are prepared to forgive the Bruce brothers' 'purple past' to help challenge the established portals.

Many businesses say they still need time to recover their revenue pipeline particularly in local lockdown areas.

Murray Lee, who has headed up one of the four key portal fees campaigning groups following the Covid pandemic, says 'we have nothing to fear but fear itself'.

Dreamview Estates MD and 'Say No To Rightmove' activist Murray Lee says the industry campaign to change the way portals operate is working.

Murray Lee and Paul Davies are leading by example and have recently signed up to use the challenger portal as they urge other agents to look at Rightmove alternatives.

Here The Negotiator documents some of the extraordinary efforts agents are going to around the UK to help support NHS and other front line staff.

Acorn Group dedicates half a dozen staff to the cause as CEO Rob Sargent sees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to weaken the portal's power.

Murray Lee of Dreamview Estates says his fundraising started out as a bit of fun but has so far raised just over £900 for NHS Charities Together.
