Is Skyfall your favourite Bond film? Here's a reminder of all 25....

Adam Kumani, CEO and c0-founder of property portal​ MoveStreets​, ​ who conducted the research,said: ​“While you’d expect a home as impressive as that portrayed in Home Alone to set you back a fair bit in today’s market, there’s no doubt Del Boy would be surprised to see his Peckham flat approaching half a million pounds. 

​"​The rate the UK housing market is moving at, who knows, maybe this time next year they could be millionaires.”
