Hi Bowlofpetunias,

Absolutely, this is the norm rather than the exception. However, asymmetric information only works as long as most parties in the market are acting in this way. As soon as people start being more open, this changed the landscape very quickly, which is what we are seeing in London.

If the market does indeed stay that way, rather than wasting time talking to individual spaces we are working on technology that should be able to inform all those with space (even if they keep the price hidden) of search and budget requirements of a potential. This should at least open dialogue.
