    You have nearly 700 properties for sale within 1/4 of a mile of where you live? That's one densely populated area right there.

    expect that person only put the first part of their postcode in, which is cheating. either that or one seller is getting a bit desperate and has listed his property through 600 separate agents.

    38 for me and 20 SSTC

    Apologies .......... my mistake, it wasn't deliberate cheating.

    The actual figures are:

    87 for sale
    3 SSTC
