It was the moment a month ago when a firm of estate agents grandly declared themselves too busy to return calls that we decided, as renters, not to get involved in the latest property boom. A few days earlier we had seen a house that we were only moderately interested in booked out for viewings within minutes of going on the market. No, we were told, it was impossible to actually walk inside the house before placing an offer. Perhaps we could look at it on Google street view? SponsoredSince then, like many others, we have watched awestruck as the home property market spins ever faster.
