The system in the UK must be more fucked-up than I thought. Here in France the estate agents will flat-out refuse to deal with you if you haven't already been to the bank to get a mortgage estimate, thus preventing much wasted time all round.

The problem with UK estate agents is that they're dealing with vast sums of money, lots of red tape, and countless mortgage options. Unfortunately these are usually the thick people that left school but didn't become hair-dressers, air hostesses or join the army.
