It\u2019s understood that confidential information of a commercially sensitive nature had been exchanged, with meetings reportedly held to ensure all agents were maintaining their minimum fee rates.<\/p>\n<p>The CMA said that the agents had illegally fixed prices and were setting minimum commission rates for customers. This will have undoubtedly resulted in consumers paying more with minimum prices set and competition stifled. The areas affected were reported to have been Bracknell, Crowthorne, Warfield, Winnersh, and Wokingham.<\/p>\n<p>When consumers pay more and the companies profit from it through underhanded tactics like price fixing and sharing information, the winners and losers are clear. When it comes to the housing sector where costs can be high and the market can be volatile, any stifling of competition must not go unpunished. It\u2019s pleasing to see that the CMA has achieved another successful resolution to this case with the offenders duly punished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s the latest news involving the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigation into alleged competition infringements involving Berkshire residential estate agents.
