Nice one.
Letting agents face a much more serious threat: Facebook Marketplace. Instant results and completely free. OK you have to download a copy of a tenancy agreement from the internet and fill in the blanks, but how hard is that?
Guernsey rents are probably distorted by the system whereby locals can buy/rent anything, but new residents can only live in under 10% of the property designated open market.
