When a branch of London agents Faron Sutaria closed for the evening, passers-by could see the usual property details beautifully lit and as tempting as you please.

However, the giant TV screen was showing some far racier images.

Naturally, it wasn’t very long before it went viral with no less than the CEO of Chestertons & Humberts tweeting it out, saying: “Interesting to see what some estate agencies sell at night!”

Was there an innocent explanation – or some dastardly hacking, possibly by a jealous rival?

A spokesperson for Faron Sutaria said: “We screen a 24-hour news channel on the television in our window.

“This was showing correctly when the premises were locked and left on the evening of Thursday, 2nd October.

“We believe a mischief-maker changed the channel on the television from the outside using a universal remote.

“We have now altered the system so this cannot happen again.”
