Hobson’s choice originated in the 1600′s, when Thomas Hobson, a stable owner, offered customers any of the 40 horses he had available – as long as it was in the stall nearest the door. It was either ‘take that horse … or none of them’. The same used to be said for estate agency, but now, thanks to the internet, you don’t have to take the agent in the stable nearest the door – or anywhere in those traditional agencies you’ll find up and down the nation’s high streets. In fact, you don’t even have to venture outdoors when it comes to searching for your new home, because the internet is now our favourite, and fastest, way of house hunting. And in an age where speed is of the essence, those window displays, local newspaper ads and ‘for sale’ boards just can’t cut it.
