from a day at Hackney City Farm


Spacious Accommodation (title JM text MR)
Abigail Walters' comic caper among rival groups of thrusting young sales agents at Keymates, Chiswick's last remaining independent estate agent when a new branch of a notoriously aggressive national chain opens next door. The owner, the bow-tie and tweeds wearing Dickie relies on Chiswick divorcees and mutually advantageous arrangements with local solicitors for his business, but this simply won't cut it any more. New girl Polly decides that this is the time to step into the limelight in order to beat this invader at its own game – and that NOTHING is off limits in her pursuit for a sale. Loyalties, friendships and ethics strain at the seams in pursuit of her next commission as Polly seeks to save her beloved Keymates.

But why does Polly care so much about this business? And why is she so desperate to outdo the sales of Keynotes star agent – the ne'er do well, boss' favourite James, who turns up for a work with a different blonde in his sports car virtually every day? Learn all this – and the unexpected upsides of well appointed young men showing desperate buyers around dream homes with very well-appointed bedrooms....
