Phil Spencer: Secret Agent
PHIL Spencer (left) continues his efforts to give Britain’s troubled property market a shake-up.
This time he’s trying to get offers on two houses not far from Glasgow’s city centre.
In Giffnock he meets Dougie, whose three-bed home has Scotland’s best state school on its doorstep, and in Uddingston he meets a couple whose five-bed cottage is struggling to find a buyer.
One house is a Fifties throwback, the other an Eighties revival, and neither is what the buyers of Glasgow’s swanky suburbs want in a family home.
The pressure is on with just one week to sell these properties at an open day. New series.
