Estate Agents have their own special language, small and pokey = bijou etc etc!

Just watching Homes Under The Hammer, and an estate agent said "it has the benefit of a toilet to the first floor". 'To the first floor'? hmm

Seriously, would you say that? I think most people would say "it's got a toilet on the first floor" or "it's got an upstairs toilet". Much more natural.
