Estate agents have been called upon to sign up to a new code of conduct.

Consumer magazine Which? has put together the ten-point We Promise code.

Agents who sign up will pledge to value a property accurately, declare any conflict of interest and pass on any offer for a property immediately and in writing.

In addition they will check a buyer is in a position to purchase but will not force them to use their own mortgage services.
