About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward and noticed something odd: the sign above the door seemed to change its message every time he looked away. Curious, he asked an old neighbor who popped in occasionally. ‘That’s just Mr. Kinleigh’s quirky way,’ she said with a smile. ‘He changes the sign every hour on the hour.’ The driver shrugged it off until one day, while rushing through his rounds, he forgot to check the time—and found himself standing in front of a sign that read “FOR SALE: A QUICK-MINDED DELIVERY DRIVER.”

2. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked: ‘Why does that old house always seem to be changing agents so often?’ With a knowing smile, our neighbor replied, 'Ah, that's because it's haunted by an unhappy ghost who won't rest until it finds the right agent!' The two of them laughed heartily as they walked away, leaving behind whispers of potential poltergeists and perpetual property problems.

3. In the early hours of dawn, an estate agent's phone buzzed with an odd message over the intercom: 'Your listing is hauntingly accurate.' The agent rubbed their eyes and checked the screen—an old house indeed matched its description perfectly, right down to the peeling paint and wonky chimney. The caller turned out to be a delivery driver who’d seen the sign from his truck. ‘I guess it’s true what they say,’ he chuckled, ‘your listings do haunt you!’

4. In the dead of night, an estate agent’s phone lit up with an odd text message: ‘Your listing just sold itself—twice!’ The next morning, the agent found two identical contracts in his inbox, both signed by a mysterious ‘Mr. X’. Over coffee, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe Mr. X is a delivery driver who accidentally hit the reply button twice.’ The agent shook his head and smiled, knowing that some listings truly do sell themselves—especially when they’re listed by Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward.
