Yours for £100m: selling homes to the super-rich - Telegraph

Yours for £100m: selling homes to the super-rich - Telegraph

Many an estate agent has the odd anecdote about a sneaky gazumping or conveyancing dispute. Few have stories as jaw-dropping as Trevor Abrahmsohn’s tale of two buyers who couldn’t meet in the middle.

“A developer was selling two apartments for £20 million, but he and the buyer could not agree on the exact price,” Trevor explains.

“The buyer had a plane to catch, and was in a hurry. So I asked them to spin a coin for a million pounds. They spun. The developer lost, but the deal went through.”

Hardly your average property deal, but then Trevor is not your average estate agent.
