Talking of dodgey agents, hi Grump.

I'm not worked up, just interested to know how cowboys can trade when the law says they cant.

Unfortunately, having a law is one thing - making sure it's implemented is a completely different issue.

Okay, I just got the impression that you were a little worked up from your previous posts!

Out of interest, what is your definition of a ‘dodgy’ estate agent then as you have seen so many of them in Pafos?

Dodgey agents, someone who is selling property and shouldn't. There must be a reason why they shouldnt.

Did you check the licences of all the estate agents in Pafos and determine those which didn’t have a licence and were therefore ‘dodgy’ then? :?

Ah, so the thread title should be ‘dodgy waiters and taxi drivers’ rather than dodgy estate agents then?

You were not referring to estate agents per se but just taxi drivers and waiters selling property?
