I liked these home viewers

Today a thirty-something couple from London viewed the house. They were remarkably pleasent people.

I was conducting the tour myself, so I had to request shoes-off myself this time.

The couple told me they always ask visitors to take their shoes off. I have heard that people in London and the south are more likely to keep their homes shoe-free. I suppose with the astronomical house prices in the capital they naturally want to look after them.
