Any recommendations from the hive mind for an EA to value and potentially list a 2 bed maisonette with a garden near Crystal Palace? One that won't make me want to gouge my eyes out before I've even met them.

They are all shit.

But. Context. I think at the moment they are slammed AND nothing is selling, or rather, very few sales are completing. If I were you, I would
- put a day in your diary in a week or sos time. This is the one valuation day. It is not a Sat.
- ring round every high street EA, make it clear you want to sell, and ask them to value that day that you've put in your diary. It's critical that they think you are serious. Make it clear you will decide that day or next.
- also, look at the 'for sale by agent' listings on Rightmove / Zoopla - this will surface other agents you haven't considered. Invite them, too.
- get PB and Yopa in, I think now is the time to be able to do self viewings
It's a ball ache, but if they think you are not kicking the tyres they will do what you want.

You're right. I'm already telling myself the whole process is going to be a ball ache so probably looking for excuses to be angry at someone. But, if someone does push my buttons this early on it is not a good sign for the rest of the process if I have that short a fuse about the whole thing.

I like the idea of picking a day and getting it all out the way then.

Exactly my thought process too, I've gone into this knowing it'll be a right pain in the arse.
