At last - the builders move out and we have a finished house to sell in Kensington

After a frustrating start trying to sell a half finished house for sale in Bedford Gardens, Kensington W8 the moment has finally arrived. It's ready! The builders have gone - at last we have the final product of our client's labours to show, as intended.

I arrived with my applicant to view the 10.5M house for sale in this achingly fashionable part of Kensington on Campden Hill. Would the electric gates work? I was in my applicant's shiny new Bentley. It wouldn't be a good look if we had to park on the road. My faith in builders was restored as we glided in through the electric gates. Now, would the door-bell work?

I could relax a little. The god of builders must have been smiling. The sun came out across the water feature in the garden. The applicant was impressed. The 25 foot swimming pool in the basement looked amazing.

The buyer was more than impressed in fact. After half an hour viewing and making numerous calls the gates glided open once again as the Bentley sped off with the buyer hopefully on his way to count his cash and come in with an offer.
