    I opened the images and holy fuck what a property, he listed all the facts and figures then signed off "Crispin x."
    
    Christ this was blackmail surely, but I reasoned that I could do this deal, walk away thirty grand richer and be done with it.
    
    Picking up my phone I scrolled through and found the entry I needed, hit call and waited.
    
    ............................................................
    
    So that dear reader brings us back to the present day standing in front of the magnificent property with my clients who seemed quite excited to say the least. I assured them that yes it was within their budget, opened the imposing door and walked into the future.
    
    The viewing went like a breeze, it certainly ticked all the boxes, each room we entered was met by a mild expletive or quiet gasp.
