Estate Agents are regulated not by law but a code of practice. Under this practice they cannot force you to use their in-house adviser or threaten not to give you the property. You have the right to object and complain. Whilst most agents do not do this there are some firms that rely on forcing buyers to use them for their services and rely on your FOMO on the property. Sadly regulation is still years away and your complaint may fall on deaf ears. We often intervene in these cases and provide evidence to the estate agent that our Client has an Agreement in Principle and has everything in order to proceed quickly.
