Why Estate Agents Are Getting Marketing All Wrong (And How to Fix It!) In this episode, Russell Quirk, one of the most outspoken figures in UK estate agency, explains why estate agents struggle with marketing and how to turn it around. It's not just about putting properties on Rightmove; it's about promoting your brand effectively to sellers and landlords. Russell discusses how many estate agents are missing the mark by focusing on short term tactics rather than building a solid, long lasting brand. He highlights how top firms like Savills and Foxtons have mastered the art of branding, making it easier to secure listings simply because of the reputation they've built. But, it's not all quick wins. Building a strong brand takes time, effort, and investment; something many agents overlook. Russell also touches on the importance of showcasing your local market knowledge, with 36% of homeowners choosing their estate agent based on expertise, not fees. If you're an estate agent looking to get ahead, this episode offers invaluable insights into how you can build your brand, stand out from the competition, and ultimately win more business.

Is Purplebricks Running Out of Road? Here's What Estate Agents Need to Know! In this episode, Russell Quirk, one of the most outspoken figures in UK estate agency, offers his unfiltered take on the future of Purplebricks. After years of struggling with an unconventional business model, can the company turn things around under its new interim CEO, Stuart Bartlett, who comes from the motor trade but has no property experience? Russell dives into the challenges of running an estate agency based on “cheap” fees and why that model has yet to prove profitable for Purplebricks. He also contrasts this with Yopa's more traditional approach, charging higher fees for a more sustainable business. He explores the untapped potential Purplebricks has with its brand, data, and market share, and why it could still find success if it pivots to a more traditional, fee based model. This episode also highlights the importance of using customer data effectively, a strategy that's helping other agencies like Foxtons thrive, even when others are struggling. Estate agents, especially those navigating the shifting UK property market, should watch this insightful discussion. Let us know your thoughts, do you think Purplebricks can turn it around?

Some of the most successful estate agency brands have established a very clear purpose that transcends their commercial aspirations. Creating lasting brand loyalty amongst customers, who may only transact once or twice in their lifetimes, requires a clear purpose and identity. What the agency actually stands for will have as much, if not more, influence in the choices consumers make over shiny new processes, frameworks, tools, and concepts. But are agencies now pursuing innovation at the expense of cultural tenets and what are the dangers of abandoning identity in pursuit of the next cool idea? We speak to industry stalwart Peter Rollings, former managing director of Foxtons and Chief Executive of Marsh & Parsons, about how agencies can move with the times whilst retaining their ‘core fundamentals'.

Camilla Dell is the owner of London's largest independent property consultancy called Black Brick. She founded the company in 2007 after she'd cut her teeth with London's renowned estate agencies Foxtons and Knight Frank. From her experience Camilla saw a gap in the market to become a trusted adviser and provide independent advice and support to people that are looking to buy.Starting with a 2-person team from her house, she has grown the company to a considerable size and is proud to have sourced and acquired in excess of £1 billion of residential property for private clients. Camilla is a mum to two daughters and lives in North West London with her husband and children, she's a firm believer that having the right values in life is just as important, if not more so than having millions in the bank. In this podcast, Camilla tells her story from the pros and cons of learning the ropes with industry conglomerates before carving her own business from home to what is now a successful enterprise.Support the show (http://www.modernwoman.co/sign-up)

Peter Rollings was at the helm of one of the most disruptive, opinion dividing and at the time pioneering Estate Agency businesses in the UK for decades. Foxtons quickly gained a reputation for their bullish and somewhat aggressive approach to business. In Peters words, the Foxtons approach was to 'go to war' for their clients to let nothing stand in the way of uncompromisingly high stands (& results). In any industry, a company that 'goes against the grain' tends to divide opinion, and as times changed and the business evolved along with the landscape of the market - what impact did that have on Peters leadership style? How did that effect the company culture and staff morale? How did Peter get the best out of his team and stay on top in a competitive market place? In todays show Ben & Scott explore all of those things, as well as Peters later success in transforming Marsh & Parsons. A must listen for any budding entrepreneur, businessman/woman or property geek.

“The recovery in London is quick…you have to be careful because it can smack you in the face – you can miss it because it happens so quickly.”My guest today is property veteran and Chief Executive at London Central Portfolio (LCP), Andrew Weir. Andrew gained his industry-wide reputation as a consummate professional in the property sector with over 30 years' experience, during a period of unprecedented growth and change within the Prime Central London residential market. He was involved from the early stages of setting up Foxtons to managing its growth and creating one of the best-known brands in the industry, taking it from private ownership to private equity and initial public offering. Andrew held the position of Managing Director from 2014, managing 300 people and a £76m+ revenue portfolio, subsequently becoming Chief Sales Officer. Subsequently, he has chosen to expand his experience into the Investment Advisory side of the industry at LCP. We discuss how the last few years has affected the capital's property market – from the effects of Brexit and the pandemic to what the city might look like in years to come. “I think London had got to a bit of an inflection point pre-pandemic, in those Brexit years. It was getting very expensive and becoming unaffordable and, given the Brexit vote, was potentially a little directionless,” Andrew explains. “I think the silver lining of the pandemic might be that London is forced to reinvent itself and that big influx of the younger generation into town could be a really positive thing.”We also talk about: The psychology of the property marketRental demand and the effect on property pricesThe migration of older people out of London and younger people into the cityThe return of foreign buyers Find out more about London Central Portfolio visit: https://www.londoncentralportfolio.com/ or follow @LCP_LTD on Instagram and Twitter.  About The Nicole Bremner Podcast:Nicole Bremner is an investor, speaker, writer, and podcaster.

This is Money has relentlessly campaigned to fight online fraud – and in a major victory, Britain's biggest banks are now trialling a new system to trace stolen money. Is the end nigh for scammers? Editor Simon Lambert and host Georgie Frost talk about bank fraud and our long-running campaign to help protect our readers from the growing crime. We also talk through new rules to come in early next year that will spell out exactly what banks have to do to help prevent customers falling victim of bank transfer scams and why we launched our Beat the Scammers section in 2016. Elsewhere, if you are in the market for a credit card, one of the more eye catching is Virgin Money's offering which could get you a trip to New York with its new bumper sign-up offer – but what's the catch? We also run the rule over Vanadium, the metal which has seen its price soar substantially in recent year. We also talk about the property market and how estate agents – especially across London and the South East - have come under pressure since the Brexit vote, which has triggered a considerable slowdown. This has seen Foxtons announcing branch closures this week. And rather than the gloom and doom predictions of a potential house price crash, Simon asks: are house prices preparing to go on something of a run?

This week on the show, I'm talking about lifelogging and what it means for your money. Wikipedia defines lifelogging as a movement to incorporate technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance, whether mental or physical. In short, lifelogging or quantified self is self-knowledge through self-tracking with technology. But what does this approach to personal technology mean for your relationship with money? In this episode I talk about some of the lifelogging tools I'm using to monitor and improve my health and fitness, before talking about an interesting (and painful!) new tool which could be revolutionary when it comes to managing our money-related behaviour. There’s also a roundup of the latest personal finance news headlines and an update on the world of Informed Choice this week.   Personal finance news -The UK economy could be put at risk due to a sharp rise in personal loans. The Bank of England has warned about rising car loans, credit card balance transfers and personal loans, which have risen by 10% in the past year. -If you've got any old £1 coins left in your purse or wallet, you've got less than three months left to spend them. According to the Treasury, there are now more of the new 12-sided £1 coins in circulation than the old circular version. -Thousands of people have paid too much tax when withdrawing money from their pensions. HMRC's latest Pension Schemes Newsletter reveals that in just three months it has had to repay over £25m in excess income tax taken from savers on pension funds withdrawn using ‘pension freedoms’. -BMW Group has announced that a battery-electric Mini will go into production in 2019 at the company’s factory in Oxford. The electric drivetrain for the new electric Mini will be built in Bavaria before being integrated into the car at Plant Oxford, BMW's main production location for the MINI 3-door Hatch. -Estate agents are suffering as a result of a slowing housing market. Foxtons reported profits falling by 64% in the first half of the year and Countrywide reported a 98% fall in profits, saying they would not pay a dividend to investors.

Market Strategist Ronnie Chopra says the Fed will deliver a 25 bps rate hike and adds, “Yellen is unlikely to upset the apple cart” by sounding too hawkish. Chopra sounds cautious on equities as he says there is too much exuberance out there and says there is a possibility of a pullback. Chopra shares his view on BP and Foxtons Group plc. “The weaker pound could see foreign investors come-in the likes of Foxtons will be major beneficiary”, says Chopra.
