An Estate Agent has to, by law. provide you with a written statement of any offer that is made on your property, even if that offer is a verbal one.
However, they are still scum.

Nothing to do with thinking that landlords or estate agents don't have the right to maximise profit. What they shouldn't have the right to do, is act like complete and utter c***s. Which they did in this case - and have in every other case I've ever encountered. I'm sure there are some honest, reputable estate agents out there. Just like there are some professional footballers who aren't pigshit-thick fuckwits who would be on the rock & roll if it weren't for their talent with a football.

Don't see any reason for estate agents to play any part in the majority of house moves these days - you can find out every property up for sale on line, you can find out what houses have gone for historically and you can view all roads on line. Why have some know nothing being paid when he/she could be replaced by a piece of telephone wire?0

Exactly Bexley Dan. It's very simple, if you don't like estate agents then don't use them.
I don't like ticket touts so I don't use them. Saying that, I did once because they had something I couldn't get elsewhere and so they charged me a premium for their service.

No contract = No contract. I assume both the Landlord and Estate Agency are in it for the money and not to do their bit for society.
There are Public Services for both Housing and Recruitment Services - and many other things I guess. But the majority of providers operate as profit making organisations. Anyone could probably avoid dealing with both Estate and Recruitment Agents if they really wanted to.
If supply is low and demand is high then prices in the Private Housing Sector inevitably go up and commerciality prevails.
And no I am not an Estate Agent, but I am a realist.
Sad but true. The reason the world is in such shit is the acceptance that the persuit of the dollar is the be all and end all, and that anything goes in business.

Completely disagree. Anything doesn't go in business, it's not war. People should take responsibility for acting with a bit of honour/self respect. Everyone is quick enough to whine when they perceive that someone has let them down, but a lot of people will act entirely selfishly if it serves their own interest. As I said before, in this case the estate agent/landlord valued their word at 3% or £25. It's a sad reflection of society.
What we're talking about is people agreeing a transaction under their own volition and then backing out of it to line their own pockets. It shows a complete lack of honesty. Also, legally you couldn't do it if you were selling a car, a computer or a lump of coal and you couldn't do it in Scotland, so I just don't understand why England has such weak property law.

Land is valued higher than cars, computers and lumps of coal in the eyes of the law and is therefore treated differently.
Not a clue what Scotland has to do with anything though?

They have different law in Scotland.
