Pretty sure they have to give you 24hrs notice. Just don't let them in. I did that when I moved out of my last flat. Had a call from estate agent asking if they could show someone round in an hr. I said no, I want 24hrs notice. They turned up anyway. I didn't let them in.
The most recent one, I was taking a dump and then three strangers plus an estate agent I've never met before arrived. So I come out and leave the door open behind me... The least they could have done is ring the doorbell
Yeah that's completely out of order! I've been shown around a flat before where a house party had clearly ended a few hours earlier and there was a couple, erm...getting to know each other, in the bedroom. The agent knocked on the door before letting us in but they we're obviously too busy to hear.
