    "MAGNIFICENT PLOT SIZE" - is that EA code for demolish and build flats?

    I think it almost certainly is! Or the vendors might decide to stay put and add another garish extension with the ample land

    Actually it doesn't. Picture 1 is compressed along the horizontal, picture 2 is closer to the actual size. If you look at the sold price info it still has the photos from the last time it was on the market in 2007 and it also looks like picture 2. As does the Google street view of the property.

    You can see this in the dimensions of the door. For picture 1 to be correct, the door would have to be of a non-standard size, for the 2nd picture it is a standard widht to height ratio. The final nail is the actual dimensions of the pictures themselves. Picture 2 is 3x2 (aka 6x4) a standard frame size taken by non-widescreen cameras and phones, picture 1 is the same height but squished down a very non-standard ratio.

    My guess would be that all the photos apart from picture 2 are displayed in the wrong ratio which would also explain why the fridge freezer and dishwasher seem very narrow in pictures 14 & 15 but look fine when the pictures are rescaled. I think the agent noticed this after uploading them, reuploaded the outside picture at the correct size but couldn't be bothered to do the rest.

    Far be it for me to defend the black arts of Estate Agents and I'm sure it happens but in this instance you have only found evidence of your paranoia, not foul play.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    I see it! Why, in pic 10, would you have a wardrobe unit with a ladder on top of it, in the living room though?
