This is Episode 3 of a special six-part Jane Austen series, sponsored throughout by Strictly Jane Austen. When we picture Jane Austen's world, most of us aren't actually picturing Hampshire in 1810 — we're picturing a television program. Colin Firth striding out of a lake. Keira Knightley on a windswept crag. A proposal in the pouring rain in front of a domed temple. The great screen adaptations gave Austen's imagined places real addresses, and this episode maps them out house by house. Jonathan Thomas is joined by Dr. Gabrielle Malcolm — author, leading expert on Austen fan culture and literary tourism, and creative director at Strictly Jane Austen — who has interviewed the people who actually made the 1995 Pride and Prejudice and knows exactly which door is which. They cover why 1995 changed everything (before it, every adaptation was studio-bound), Simon Langton's instruction to "throw open the drawing room doors," and the hierarchy of houses the production had to find: Luckington Court as Longbourn, Edgcote House as Netherfield, Lyme Park and Sudbury Hall as Pemberley, and the village of Lacock as Meryton. Along the way: the message Susannah Harker sent Gabrielle about the summer of 1994; the choreographer who poured Coca-Cola on Edgcote's polished floors so the cast wouldn't slip; the truth about who actually dived into that lake, and where the underwater shots were really filmed; why Chatsworth is arguably too grand even for Mr. Darcy; the Wilton Diptych and how Wilton House saved it; Stourhead's Arcadian fantasy gardens; and Barton Cottage on the Flete Estate in South Devon, with a five-bedroom "cottage," only two servants, and a Ferrars family named after a nearby Devon village. Most usefully of all, Gabrielle explains which of these places you can actually get into, which ones you can only nose around on an estate agent's website, and how to string the best of them together into one Wiltshire trip.

In this episode of Over the Falls Podcast, Dave and Dukes are joined by Layla Isis Manga, owner of Alexander's Estate Agents in Aberystwyth, for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation about life, family, business and the community she calls home.Layla takes us back to her upbringing and family life, before sharing her journey into business and the world of property and estate agency in Aberystwyth. We talk about the challenges and rewards of running a local business, her relationship with Aberystwyth and her thoughts on the area.But this conversation goes far beyond property. We discuss parenting and the risks of smartphones and social media for children, religion and faith, family values, modern life and some of the issues facing parents today.And, in true Over the Falls fashion, we disappear down more than a few unexpected rabbit holes along the way!It's an insightful, honest and thoroughly enjoyable conversation with someone who has plenty to say about business, parenting, property, faith and life in Aberystwyth.

"You only have one reputation. And once it's burnt, it's burnt." Grant J Bates sold a £61.3 million house in Holland Park, the highest-value residential sale in the UK that year, and says the corporate estate agency model that trained him is dead.Five years earlier, when he started filming his listings for Instagram, his friends told him he was a moron and his employer sent him cease-and-desist letters. He kept going, and in 2025 launched his own brokerage.In this conversation Maria tells him about the estate agent who physically pushed her away from a development she wanted to see when she was buying her first flat, and asks him the question everyone asks her at dinner: should you rent or buy?───────────────────

Estate agents can make a real difference beyond selling homes. I'm joined by Jerry Lyons and Nick Cheshire from The Ethical Agent Network to discuss authentic community involvement, supporting local causes and why giving time, not just money, builds stronger relationships, trust and a lasting reputation.

Why do most estate agents blend into the background? I spoke with Ian Macbeth, co-founder of Avocado, about standing out in a crowded market. We explore finding your niche, building a memorable brand, and moving beyond generic claims to attract the right clients.

UK Property Market Bounces Back After Last Week's Summer Wobble After last week's unexpected drop in sales agreed, the UK property market has bounced back. 24,435 homes went sold subject to contract in Week 32, up from around 21,700 the week before and much closer to where we would expect the market to be at this point in August. The evidence increasingly suggests last week's fall may simply have been the summer slowdown arriving slightly earlier than usual, rather than anything more sinister. Yet beneath that headline, the market remains brutally price sensitive. Around half the homes leaving estate agents' books are still withdrawing unsold, while four out of five homes listed and sold so far in 2026 achieved that sale without needing a price reduction. The message is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, getting the pricing strategy right from the beginning matters enormously. This week I am joined by Iain White, one of the property industry's most experienced operators, to dissect the numbers and discuss where estate agents are getting it right and wrong. Then we head to Oxford, where we use cold, hard data to compare its estate agents on market share, exchanges, withdrawals, pricing, fall-throughs and the prices they actually achieve for their sellers and see who is the best Estate Agent in the City. The main stats for UK Property Market Stats for week 32, week ending 16th August 2026.

A new report from the Society of Chartered Surveyors in Ireland has found serious affordability challenges for couples looking to get on the property ladder.According to the research, a couple on a combined income of €113,000 who want to buy a new privately built 3-bedroom semi-detached home and who have the 10% deposit would be unable to afford to do so in the Dublin commuter belt counties…Joining Ciara to discuss the new research is John O'Suvillan, member of The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland & Dublin-based Estate Agent and Conor O'Connell, Director of Housing and Planning at Construction Industry Federation.

Are agents helping clients move or protecting egos? With Keira Evans, EA Masters 2025 Best Branch Manager, we unpack overvaluing in UK property, fear of rejection, and why honest valuations matter. Overpriced homes sell slower, fall through more, stall moves.

From useless estate agents to the controversial "gravy crumpet" video that's dividing the internet, we cover the weird and the wonderful before diving into the serious business of coaching. Tom breaks down the rise of "Runna" culture explaining why an app will never replace a coach who understands lactate thresholds and heart rate zones, and how you can program for running without a formal "qualification. Then, Dan goes on a massive rant about personal branding after a call with a coach who was told not to share their life.

With a powerful real world example, this conversation highlights why continuity and accountability are essential for stronger results, better service and improved success rates.

Compliance has become a major headache for estate agents, but is the real issue the regulation or the way it's handled? In this podcast, I speak with Vijay Vashistha and Puja Mehra from 99 Home about why compliance still feels so difficult. Since HMRC made anti money laundering checks mandatory in 2020, many agents have struggled with the rules, document collection, and explaining the process to clients, particularly those less comfortable with technology. We also explore data security risks and why better education across the industry could help fix the problem.

Are targets really the enemy, or the key to growth? I sit down with The Baldock Brothers to explore why clear goals drive direction, accountability and measurable progress in your property business.

Estate agents using artificial intelligence generated images on property listings “is misleading to people” and wastes their time, according to Tánaiste Simon Harris. The statements came after Labour housing spokesperson Conor Sheehan raised the issue in the Dáil following criticism of one Cork-based estate agency and auctioneer showing spruced-up versions of photos of a property alongside the real ones. For more on this Anton spoke to Ray Cooke CEO of Ray Cooke Auctioneers.

In this REWIND episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Dave Buonaguidi (@RealHackneyDave) - November 2018.Dave Buonaguidi had literally decided to become a screen-printer overnight. He left his job, in advertising on a Friday, went on a one-day screen-printing course at Print Club London on the Saturday and fell in love with the rapid creative process that day.Dave is best known for laying bold text over found maps, manuscripts and documents. When one of the UK's largest Estate Agents started using adverts very similar the Dave's recent work, Dave responded with a highly amusing barrage of ‘fake' ad's in the guise of those used by the Estate Agents. Whilst now running his own successful advertising agency Dave still finds the time to fulfil commissions and create his own body of work.To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsFor full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.co.ukEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.comSocial Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
