And finally… the waiting game

A three-bedroom house in San Francisco’s affluent Russian Hill neighbourhood has been listed for an astonishingly low price of $488,000 (around £385,000).
However, the property comes with a significant caveat – the buyer cannot move in for another 30 years. The 1,100-square-foot house is currently tenant-occupied, and the existing tenant will continue to live there, paying a monthly rent of $417 (around £329) for the duration of their lease, which ends in 2053.
Steven MacDonald, a lawyer specialising in landlord tenant law, told ABC7 News: “For some reason, they gave this person a 30-year right of possession. I’ve seen that before. It’s kind of a sloppy way of estate planning.”
The listing has generated significant interest, with a long queue of prospective buyers forming outside the property last week.
Neighbour Ilia Smith said: “My husband came in and said, ‘You’ve got to look out the window. There’s a line from the house all the way to the middle of the block right here’.”
