Asda, the retailer, is launching an estate agency venture which it claims will allow customers to browse for new homes alongside their weekly shopping.

The supermarket is planning to undercut high-street estate agents by selling properties through call-centres.

Touch-screens in Asda stores will contain a database of properties for sale and allow potential purchasers to register their interest.

it'll never catch on.... will it? I mean - buying a house from a call centre..
