Just as the recession bit hard a new development of flats down the road from me had their "Grand Opening". My sister went to look around because a)Shes nosey b) There was free champagne, and she actually laughed out loud when the agent told her that the 2 bed flats were asking from £950k. Not only were they flats bland and not very big, but at the front is the A1 which is a MAJOR road - busy 24/7 and at the back runs a brook that is filthy and stinks in the summer. Well today I drove past and saw a big board proudly announcing "85% SOLD" and frankly I just don't believe them. Do estate agents put up fake signs to look like everything rosy?
Here's a link to the flats if you want to waste your money!

They advertise them as being on Kingsley Way but that is actually the road that runs on the side of it and the map linked isn't pointing to their real position. They face onto the A1 which is the road you see in the outside pic!

The "reception" and "dining" room look to be the same room.
