It isn’t very often that an estate agent makes the hallowed pages of Private Eye.

And when they do, it’s a given that Ian Hislop and his team aren’t going to be particularly admiring.

In five years’ time, it might just be worth remembering that if you mention the general election in your advertising, you’re liable to end up in Private Eye.
