If your only way of to make a profit in estate agency is rinsing the solicitor and the mortgage broker for over the top exorbitant kickbacks, you're not an estate agent...
You’re a parasite
I have heard of a number of 'larger' estate agents who are so cr*p at getting decent fees, they will do it at 0.5% inc VAT (lose making),
Just to take £800/£900 out of a £1350 conveyancing quote
Many £££ on the mortgage deal
and dont get me started on charging nearly £100 per person for AML checks
PS I am not against commission, it just has to fair
