That's according to this, in the Herald Tribune on the English art of screwing a potential buyer. Meet the man who got gazumped not once but twice over the same Balham townhouse, and the couple who, after viewing 50 properties in 15 months and spending £3,000 in fees, can no longer afford to buy a place of their own. Oh yeah, and it was 1928, when the Express first printed the word "gazump".
