This term is still used in estate agency circles to mean the seller-client
who owns the property. It is, however, so archaic that even the Law Societies
have dropped the expression in favour of seller (q.v.).
One day estate agents may catch up and adopt this modern expression. All new legislation
talks about sellers.
