28 years of on the ground experience along with 'dinner party' questions, five years of writing and answering questions as the Sunday Times Property Expert, the original Agent Provocateur writing weekly in the Daily Telegraph London Supplement, regular contributions to trade magazine and numerous appearances as an expert on anything from Channel 4 news live, Sky News, Channel 4 and 5, GMTV, Radio 4, Radio 5live and many local radio and TV spots have given me a pretty solid insight into how to answer people's enquiries impartially, effectively, quickly and in a way that satisfies those doing the asking.
The upshot of all this is that I am permanently being asked questions wherever I go, which I happily do.
