It was more than a year ago when the story first leaked out of Barry McKay's spat with Savills. They'd sold his Sunningdale home for £2.9m... something, you'd think, a client would be pleased about. But they'd sold it to the wrong person. The story's back in the news after Savills have settled out of court with McKay, apologising for hiding the identity of the buyer (who had "history" with McKay and wasn't on his suitable buyer list) and not revealing the fact that the buyer was close to getting planning permission to demolish and rebuild on the plot... raising the perceived value of the property to something closer to £10m.
