Foxtons selling houses for 0% commission in SW London

London Estate Agency Foxtons have announced that they will charge 0% commission on house sales for people using their new South London branches in Streatham and Willesden Green reported Negotiator Magazine today.

The offer is open to the first 200 sellers in each of the branches and the houses for sale in Streatham must be sold before 4th December 2010.

Earlier this year the Guardian reported that the Agency best known for its branded Minis experienced a profit slump of 70% with debts of nearly £350m due to the housing market.

So does this bold move opening two new offices signify a confidence in the South London Housing market?

So, can you spot any foxtons houses for sale in Streatham at The Big Property List?
