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.

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.
