Good news everyone

Times: Foxtons to expand as housing market picks up

Foxtons, the London estate agency famed for its fleet of Minis and hard sales tactics, has confirmed plans to expand around the capital in response to the increasingly thriving property market in the city.
The return will be viewed as a sign that Foxtons has called the bottom of the London housing market, and comes as reports have emerged of a return to peak prices in some of the most desirable parts of the capital.

'confirmed plans'

ie 'has plans' to staff up in offices where they fired people before the crash

means f all ... so might hire in a few hot spots where there is some demand from foreign money, so what?

FFS it's just a press release regurgitated nothing to get excited about.

Indeed, still no published accounts from Foxtons. So this 'news' is based on a Foxtons representative calling up asub-editor in a paper they advertise with (when they have the money) and striking up a deal.

Shame on the Times for printing such an advertorial.

Do these morons know that activity increases at both the bottom AND TOP of a market...probably not.
