I don't normally have an opinion on the Argus, good or bad, but this is lazy and inaccurate reporting. I appreciate I'm getting old and grumpy but where in this article does it say the property SOLD for £3.75m, wholly inaccurate and poor reporting, whinge over, carry on .....

Unless I'm wrong, they seem to be saying that the house has an internal floor area of over 7 million square feet. Seems quite cheap in view of that.

Good job that the Argus isn't a very poor local rag not worthy of even wrapping chips!

I kind of assumed that was a direct quote from the idiot estate agent trying to make it sound more impressive and in the process making a complete ar*e of the maths...... The comments made me laugh, somebody getting destroyed for pointing out that they we're claiming 680,000 sq m only for him to be shown correct...

So long as it's Peter James and not the Argus writing it otherwise they'd say it was a multi-storey car park costing 35p
