Earls Court Revisit

Martin Sutherland was convinced he'd found the formula for making money out of developing: take an average three-bed, one bath flat, then squeeze in two more bedrooms and another bathroom, renovate to high spec and rent it out for top dollar to west London's high paid twentysomethings.

Sarah Beeny returns to find out why.
