World's most unpopular estate agent buys house in Kensington

His name's Jonathan Hunt (yes, rhymes with shunt), he's known in the trade as the hardman of London property, but we know him as the man who, back in 1981, founded Foxtons. And the news is that the Sunday Times has been digging around in the Land Registry files and discovered he's recently become Lakshmi Mittal's new neighbour, spending £14,073,287 on 10, Kensington Gardens. It's a seven-storey, Grade II-listed mansion, and plans are afoot to build an underground sports complex, including a pool under the garden, which will be accessible via a sliding tennis court surface. Hmmm. The full story, here.
