Overview

An estate agent’s true stories of battles between buyers and sellers, plus a guide on where the world’s greatest treasure troves exist, and how to get them. This is also the story of a revolutionary sailing rig and, most importantly, the proofs of worlds beyond. To help his clients’ anonymity, Ian has placed this as a post-war romance, recalling what people paid for estates in those days.

Ian Hawkeye has this pen name to protect client confidentiality. He expresses the thoughts of a 23-year-old estate agent BSc and his 23-year-old distaff partner, surveyor BSc.

Ian has chosen the action to take place in 1957 to allow them to recall items when in their 80s. What you drove and what you wore were, at times, surprisingly modern and, sometimes, surprisingly old fashioned. It was also a time of upheaval in the property world, and, for some, changes in opinions.

Excitement? Then, as now, it depended on your age.

Ian.
