The man who founded and flogged Foxtons talks property with the Evening Standard. The best bit? This:

"If I knew what the market was going to do I'd be extremely rich."

Otherwise it's something of a low-key interview... a reserved but polite businessman, an enthusiast for Margaret Thatcher, proud of an estate agency empire and either unwilling to engage or unchallenged regarding Foxtons's controversial reputation. He does have a view on the market... a fast fall and a slow rise... give it five years, at least.
