I'm waiting for a certain estate agent in Swindon to go under...the one that swindled us out of £400 in 1992 by misdescribing the property (he assured me on two occasions, once with witnesses, that the road would be adopted...when our solicitor did the searches, he found it wouldn't be). The git refused to return our goodwill deposit and it cost us in abortive legal fees. We complained to TS but as the witnesses were family they reckoned they couldn't get a criminal prosecution, although they did go round and interview him.
Needless to say, shysters like this are never a member of OCEA or the NAEA.
We were right to pull out though - the subsequent development around there has made it a hell-hole.
