What's the quickest turnaround you've had for selling/buying a property?!
My mum & dad (albeit 35 years ago) had sold their place and were gazumped on the property they were going to buy about 3 weeks before completion date.

Photoshopping
Are estate agents allowed to photoshop details? There's a house for sale that I know well. One of the photos is of the garden and surroundings, except they have been photoshopped. Trees have been added, pylon removed etc. The whole scene is a total lie.
