What do estate agents, footballers and journalist have in common?
All three are trusted by just a quarter of the public, according to the latest Ipsos MORI Veracity Index.
Respondents were asked how much they trust certain professions to tell the truth.
Just 27% said they trusted agents, on a par with journalists and ahead of 26% for footballers.
The agency figure is down on last year’s survey, when 30% said they trusted agents.
Agents at least fared better than politicians and government ministers who were at the bottom of the table with 17% and 19% respectively.
Nurses remained the most trusted profession in Britain at 94%, just ahead of doctors, who were backed by 91% of respondents.
Needless to say, you can always trust EYE journalists!

The public, (made up of estate agents, footballers, politicians, builders, lawyers, dentists el al) trust no one.
It’s a good job there are some really brilliant agents out there to dipole the myths that are told-usually by untrustworthy journalists!! The Property eye excluded of course!
Wow….where is PeeeeeBEEEEEEEE today?
No comments? 🙂
And PIE still take a side for least trusted agents 🙂
Oh, dear…
You clearly ain’t got a Scooby how utterly numptyfied you come across as being.
Note – the ‘survey’ relates to ESTATE AGENTS.
ALL of us.
EVERY business model.
YOU included.
Can you smell any coffee yet? Hear that penny dropping?
You’ve got a terminal case of cranial constipation. Normally I suggest people engage brain before pressing ‘POST COMMENT’ – but you are WAAAAY in need of more than that simple fix for what is clearly an insurmountable problem.
Instead, I strongly suggest you try something to relieve some of the pressure before we have a Vesuvius episode – and take your head for a long and well-overdue 5h!te.
Can you trust an estate agent more than Damian Green? for example !!!
Or the current president of America
What about Father Christmas ?
