They say: This amazing four bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace freehold property offers an impressive reception room with a pretty feature fireplace, a superb master bathroom, and a wonderfully light kitchen and breakfast room.
We say: Not sure just how pretty that fireplace is, but the kitchen has a fine wooden floor, and the rooms themselves feel large and light throughout. It's fairly close to West Brompton and West Kensington Tube stations, with good schools nearby.

Absolutely Fabulous pad
Joanna Lumley was a student at the Lucie Clayton Finishing School in Cornwall Gardens, South Kensington, in the seventies. The building has since been converted into stylish pied-a-terres, one of which is available to rent. With one bedroom, an iPod docking station and a kitchen with wine cooler, it is perfect for a modern single girl, but she’ll need to be earning her crust – it costs almost £8,000 per month to rent. Faron Sutaria: 020 7590 0333.

The Resident
Stas Lawicki, branch manager, Faron Sutaria:
“Towards the latter part of 2009, I commented on prices rising to levels seen in 2007, as well as numerous records that Faron Sutaria was breaking due to increased buyer activity and our proactive approach. The good news for any Kensington resident contemplating selling is that prices have continued to rise and we are busy dealing with multiple offers and sealed bids. It is worthy of note that the majority of demand is still coming from Europe and Asia, though with the lending criteria quite stringent for non-UK residents, the vast majority of buyers are choosing not to be encumbered by mortgages, and are instead opting for a more straight-forward cash transaction.
Faron Sutaria South Kensington currently has a database in the region of 3,000 active buyers, all looking to purchase property in central and west London. With this level of buyers growing on a daily basis, it is evident that now could be the best possible time to extract the maximum sale price for your property”

Tall Storeys SIX FEET WIDE £550,000
A house in west London has gone on sale for more than half a million pounds, despite being only 1.8m (6ft) wide.
In estate agent speak, the house for sale in Goldhawk Road, Shepherd's Bush, is "historic and enchanting" and "internationally recognised for its unique character".
But to most £549,950 is a lot to pay for a property which is no wider than a disabled toilet cubicle, however enchanted they may be by its idiosyncrasies.
The five-floor property is being sold by estate agents Faron Sutaria, who with clever photography have managed to suggest that anyone swinging their cat in the living room would not give their pet a nasty bang on the head.But there is no disguising that the bedroom is so thin you can only climb into the built-in bed from one end.Despite its width, however, the little house packs a lot in. It boasts two reception rooms, a dining room, an extremely narrow kitchen in the basement, a bathroom, shower room, two bedrooms and a study.
Sceptics can visit the house tomorrow or Sunday as part of the estate agent's open house weekend.
The price reflects the property's novelty value, according to Simon Beatson, of agents Faron Sutaria. "It's unique," he said. "For pounds per square foot it's actually incredibly good value."
He is confident of reaching a good price as a shortage of stock across London and low interest rates continue to drive prices up.

One bedroom flat, Roland Gardens, London SW7, £406,000
Sold through Faron Sutaria 020 7590 0300
London’s South Kensington is famed for its Gallic charms, with streets packed with boulangeries and patisseries, so it is unsurprising that this period conversion with three sets of ‘French’ doors was in demand when it came to the market in August.
On the first floor of an oh-so-chic 19th Century building, not only did it have all the usual desirables – tall ceilings, a private balcony, and a share in the freehold – but, for those burdened with heavy shopping, there was the added delight of a lift.
It didn’t take long for prospective buyers to register its attractions and, within weeks, three competing bidders drove the asking price up from £400,000 to £406,000.

Victorian value: Wendell Road, Shepherd's Bush, London, W12
Price: £750,000
Agent: Faron Sutaria, Tel: 020 8994 4111
They say: A beautifully presented and well preserved four-bedroom home with through reception, kitchen/diner, two bathrooms, one en suite as well as a garden and large roof terrace.
We say: The owners have done their best to maximise the space but it means there's no room for you to add value - you're going with the market on this one, although this is not a bad price for a house of this size in this location. And it's always far better to be living in that the enormous roof extension that looking at it from the house across the road.

Streets of Learning
School may be out for summer, but it’s not off the agenda. The battle for the best free school places is hotting up, and could offer homeowners who live near a good state school the chance to cash in on the credit crunch. Mark Kraven, lettings manager of the Notting Hill branch of Faron Sutaria, now receives twice as many inquiries for homes near the heavily oversubscribed Fox primary school as he did a year ago. Competition is so intense, parents are making huge sacrifices to get a home on the right street. “We had one family of two adults and two kids who lived in a one-bed for six months,” Kraven says. “The parents slept on a sofa bed in the living room while the kids slept in bunk beds.”
