Ghost gazumping, Pre-pay energy meters, Super-rats

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We'll hear how ghost-gazumping, where vendors come back and ask for more money for their property because demand in the housing market is inflating prices, is hitting first-time buyers. Also, why do people on pre-paid energy meters seem to pay more for the service? And why are some rats not susceptible to poison?
