Some huge % of that agent fee goes to Rightmove these days. We looked at buying an estate agency chain for work and the economics are far shittier than you would expect, even in London. Earnings are volatile as well.

I sort of accept the agent fees as a necessary evil.

I would rather everyone paid more for conveyancers so we got quality professionals doing the job, rather than battery farm conveyancing with inexperienced para legals doing the work due to a race to the bottom on fees.

Yes - although I’ve probably been unlucky in having “quality professionals” (including this thread’s former favourite conveyancer) also screw things up with basic process errors.

Regulating conveyancers as full solicitors might help this?
