Most of Spooner Row seems to be for sale at the moment
(Preview)
Including one house which is on with 5 agents (tip - Don't try to sell your house with 5 agents at once, people will wonder what is wrong). We already know about the new houses and the HGV route and the broadband and the split, anything else we should know about. Where is everyone going?
