I've done this with quite a few agents - and I never hear from them again.
Actually, that's not strictly true. They just email me the same stuff you can find on right move.
Maybe they've been reading LFGSS.
Was funny actually, they were like 'but we have another one!' and I'm like 'great when can I view it?!' and they were like 'but we have to register you first!' and I was like 'OK!' and they said 'it's probably easier for you to do that online!' (but we won't tell you how and where) and I was like 'good bye'.
Honestly, the way they said it, it was like they were telling me to do one.

I've had the exact same experience recently.
A couple of places on rightmove that I've contacted about recently I'm certain have never actually been available. Both with Keatons.
Going through all this for this for the first time, can't believe how shady and unregulated the whole sector is. Or I can, but I'm now just actually dealing with it.

The main reason I went with the estate agents to sell my place that I did was because they were the only ones, when we were viewing properties, who were actually pro-active at suggesting properties to view and getting us into places that weren't yet online.
All of the others I dealt with would occasionally email me stuff that may or may not fit my criteria and was already on Rightmove.

Bummer, but there'll be more.
Chat to Wilkinson and let them know what you're after, we had two good experiences with them (one buying then selling).
