In November of 1998 we put our house on the market with Whitegates. We were tied into staying with them for 16 weeks - this didn't worry me however, as the chappie who came to see us promised a sale within six weeks as "the houses in this area are selling like nobody's business". Now I'm not naive - I've done ...  Read the complete review
