Why This Estate Agent Moved from High Street Offices to a Hub, And Why It Paid Off! In a game changing decision, John Newhouse, founder of Roseberry Newhouse, closed three High Street branches and moved his entire agency into a business hub. But what sparked this shift, and what impact has it had on the business? John takes us through his reasoning, a mix of rising costs, fluctuating sales, and the need for a more efficient structure. Despite initial reservations, the move proved to be a turning point. With a single hub now serving as the agency's base, John saw the business grow stronger, even surpassing the results of the previous multiple offices. He shares how a strong social media presence, paired with the right strategy and a clear vision, helped his agency maintain and even grow its client base. The decision also pushed the agency to focus more on service thna location, proving that high street offices are not the be all and end all. Listen now to learn more about how John navigated the challenges and how this shift could help reshape your approach to estate agency.

Late on the evening of February 12th 1945, 55 year old Mary "Helen" Hoyles  finished her shift at the American Red Cross Club on High Street in the centre of Southampton, and began the short walk home. Helen's journey should have taken just a quarter of an hour but she did not make it safely home.Early the following morning Helen's half-naked body was found in a cul-de-sac near her lodgings on New Road. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. A clue was found at the scene which made police think the case would be solved within a week, though this confidence proved misplaced.Over the next couple of years several suspects cropped up in the investigation and the "clue" took detectives to mainland Europe in their search for the killer. In truth the culprit may have been closer to home.Sources for this episode can be found hereSupport the showFollow Persons Unknown: Instagram and FacebookEmail: personsunknownpod@gmail.comWebsite with Transcripts:https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/

Why Are 8% of UK Landlords Leaving High Street Estate Agents? Suzanne Smith, lawyer turned landlord, and the person behind The Independent Landlord, joins us today to explore why so many UK landlords are turning their backs on High Street estate agents in favour of self management platforms like OpenRent. What's driving this shift? Suzanne shares her personal experience and valuable insights into the frustrations that are prompting this change. In this episode, Suzanne reveals how nearly 9% of landlords have switched from traditional agents to OpenRent in the last two years. From poor communication and hidden fees to the struggles of managing a property through agents who don't meet expectations, Suzanne explains why self management can sometimes feel like the better option, even if it involves extra work. For estate and letting agents, this episode is a great opportunity to hear directly from a landlord who has experienced both sides of the property management process. It's time to reassess how you're delivering value to your clients and ensure you're offering the best service possible.

In this episode I go on a style journey with the longest standing former editor of British Vogue …  Alexandra Shulman CBE.  As a young designer at the time I will never forget being invited by Alex to a one on one lunch at San Lorenzo not long after she became Editor in Chief.  I didn't quite know what to expect, but I came away thinking how kind and approachable she was…in fact the polar opposite to the intimidating image of most editors at the time…There was never anything Devil Wears Prada about Alex. In this episode she talks openly about her relationship with fashion …proclaiming she knew nothing about fashion when she took the job and maybe “ignorance was bliss”. But when she took the helm of Vogue it was a unique moment in fashion…there was an incredible pool of British design talent and at the same time the High Street was breaking through and democratising fashion. Of course I ask her what she wore on her first day in the ever-imposing Vogue House…  We talk about the pressure of dressing to attend all the shows around the world and she is wonderfully pragmatic about how she knew she was never going to be a “Carine or an Anna”… How the editors grand hotel rooms would always be laden with flowers on arrival from all the big houses, often with handwritten notes from the designers…and a time that Karl (as in Lagerfeld) wrote several pages to her as to how he was feeling about a particular situation… During her editorship she was asked by the then Kate Middleton to recommend British designers for her wedding dress…Alex submitted her ideas, bearing in mind the possible dynamic between the designer and Kate, the obvious need for incredible security not to mention, could the designer/house create a dress worthy of making history for all the right reasons. She had no idea until the wedding day who had actually got the job. She talks lovingly of spending time in her mother's dressing room as a child (the only time she and her siblings got to see her during the week), watching her get dressed for work as the editor of Conde Nast Brides magazine. How glamourous and stylish she was and indeed still is in her 90's…   Alex's book Clothes and Other Things that Matter… is not only about clothes but about the way we live our lives. “From childhood onwards, the way we dress is a result of our personal history”.  Not dissimilar to this podcast, our clothes have stories … I hope you enjoy this episode…it was a rich conversation peppered with stories of the crazy world of fashion. Thank you @alexandrashulman for being so wonderfully open and brilliantly eloquent x

Glasgow City – Episode 1 – A Panoramic Tour Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is not the Capital of the country as that honour goes to Edinburgh with it's Royal Castle and Palace. There is however, a constant buzz around the city which boasts 5 Universities, the Oldest of which is Glasgow University founded in 1451. It hosts two of the best of Scotland's football teams and it is renowned for its nightlife and theatreland. The city has grown from the beginnings of an early church established in the 6th century by Saint Kentigern or Saint Mungo as he is know locally. Sadly most of the medieval city has gone and there is now an eclectic mix of architecture mainly from the late 18th century to the more modern 21st century buildings with only St Mungo's Cathedral and Provand's Lordship still standing from the much earlier period. In this first Episode, I am going to take you with me through the city streets, pointing out the main buildings and giving you background and context of what we see including wonderful architecture and extraordinary sculptures that adorn the city. We will start with how Glasgow came about and look at the symbols that adorn the city and are associated with it's Patron Saint, Saint Mungo. We will commence this panoramic tour of Glasgow starting at the centre of the city in George Square and we will look at some of the wonderful buildings including the City Chambers or the Mayor's office. We will be driving from the modern centre of the City, out to the Medieval Cathedral and down the old High Street and on to Glasgow Green and the Peoples Palace and I will be explaining all the prominent buildings and landmarks as we go. There are some extraordinary stories behind the facades and I look forward to telling you all about this fine city.

As part of each of these ‘Open for Business' roadshows, Bobby looks to do a bit of a health check to give the town a once over and see what works and maybe what could be improved. Joining Bobby to do that in Kenmare is Retail Consultant, Vinny O Brien & Planning Expert, Conor Skehan.

Like a patient on the operating table with no pulse, the UK economy is barely growing. Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are desperately banging on the chest of the patient trying to revive it, but they don’t know how to bring it back to life. December figures show that the economy barely grew by just 0.1%. They talk of growth, but where is it going to come from? 10,000 millionaires have quit the UK in the last six months! China’s economy grew by 5% last year. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/FgXuoDMFE3c Retail sales were down in December! I’ve never heard of retail sales falling over Christmas. More inflation is expected as UK borrowing costs and bond yields have risen sharply. The country’s additional borrowing costs will run to £12 billion per annum. Paid by us, taxpayers of course. Governments screw up, we foot the bill. This could mean higher interest rates and higher mortgage costs for all of us at a time, and the Bank of England should be cutting rates. The market has lost confidence in the UK chancellor Rachel Reeves. She is out of her depth and reminds me the person that talks a good game and job interview but in reality hasn’t got a clue when they’ve got the job. Labour have got off to the worst start and any government I’ve never known. They want to give away the Chagos islands to Mauritius, and then lease it back at a cost of £9 billion! I’ve heard of sale and leaseback, but not “give” and leaseback. This will surely be remembered as the Prime Minister’s “Gordon Brown” moment. Gordon Brown was the Labour chancellor who sold off the U.K.’s gold reserves to China at rock bottom prices. Gold has risen by at least 10 times since the ill-fated sell-off. They inexplicably cut the small winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, taxed private school fees, and raised national insurance costs for employers, taxed our farmers and borrowed an additional £145 billion, all of which have made them hugely unpopular. And yet, the FT 100 index, reached a record level today! Apparently they expect interest rates to be cut by 0.25% when the Bank of England meet next month Will the Bank of England hold or cut rates next month? The implications are huge for the country and for the 700,000 borrowers who will come off fixed interest rates this year, as well as the first-time buyers who want to go on the property ladder. Buy to let property investment has become almost unviable, unless you have a large deposit or buying cheap properties up in the north-east. Some good news could be on the horizon for first time buyers as regulators are expected to relax lending rules. However, could this lead to another boom and bust? The massive building firm Taylor Wimpey has reported good profits of over £400 million last year and they built almost 10,000 new homes. Perhaps labours plan to relax planning rules will bring more homes onto the housing market. China What is going on between Labour and China? Why did Rachel Reeves desert her post at the time of the bond crisis last week? What are they given away for China to buy UK bonds? The Chinese government does not give anything without expecting something in return, and they normally bargain very hard. Foreign Secretary, David Lammy is expected to approve a new super embassy for China on the site of the old Royal Mint. Why does any country need a super embassy with hundreds of “diplomats”? Donald Trump could turn the US economy around, but will we get a decent trade deal after labour have alienating themselves from the new president elect? David Lammy, with his personal attacks, labour sending 100 people to America to canvas for Joe Biden during the US elections and now rushing to sign a deal with Mauritius before the presidential inauguration on January 20. Now it appears Labour are getting closer to China. The previous government cooled relations with China over Chinese technology, tensions over Hong Kong and Taiwan, the South China Sea, cyber security and allegations of spying. In summary, the lunatics have taken over the asylum! What does this mean for you? What can we do to cope on a personal level? If you believe we are entering choppy waters and stormy weather, now is the time to batten down the hatches and tighten your belts. This is not the time to purchase an £80,000 car on a lease or buy a fast-food franchise and open up yet another burger bar on the High Street. I’ve seen at least two or three new fast-food outlets or restaurants popping up on the High Street in the last couple of months. They are occupying premises that previous owners of similar businesses who went bust. I’ve talked to some of the business owners, and they are struggling. I walk past their restaurants and see the empty tables. I talk to a lady who opened up to bubble tea outlets and lost all her savings within six months. Her sign is still above the empty shop, which means the landlord has not been able to let the property again. Manage your money and control your spending. Invest wisely. If you’re nearing retirement, I would check with your financial advisor as to where your pension funds are invested. If you are young, I would learn more about AI. AI will kill 300 million jobs worldwide according to a recent report. People already been laid off in the City of London and Wall Street due to the impact of AI. A massive rise in employer national insurance contributions will hardly encourage employers to take on more staff. Worse still, it could lead to redundancies. Could be an easier time for homebuyers, if interest rates fall and the regulators ease the stringent restrictions on mortgage lending. Expect the best but prepare for the worst.

It's time for another “Tat Hunt” episode, we think. It's been too long, that's for sure. This week, Paul and Eli take to the mean streets of Watford to scour the charity shops for 6 items to bring into next week's charity shop item face-off! In CheapShow's history, most of the items discovered in charity shops fall into six categories and it's up to the Cheap Chaps to rustle them up in a few hours beating the streets. They need to find a Book, a Game, a Toy, some Kitchenware, a Trinket and a Party Album, but time it tight and the weather is awful.

The UK high street has appeared to be in a near perpetual state of distress since the birth of self-service shopping in the 1950s. Since then, local authorities approving out-of-town developments in the 1970s, the rise of the supermarket, the internet and the recent Covid lockdowns, have all taken their toll on town centres. Adam Rutherford talks to three guests about the changing nature of the high street.Annie Gray explores the long and varied history of shopping districts in The Bookshop, the Draper, the Candlestick Maker, from medieval marketplaces to the purpose-built concrete precincts still standing today. The urban designer and strategic planner Vicky Payne believes the high street is far more resilient than people think. Her research has looked at the innovative work being done across the country, from Bournemouth to Barnsley, to revitalise town centres. And the food writer Angela Hui shines a light on the central role that migrants have played – from running corner shops to restaurants. Her Chinese takeaway installation, inspired by her experiences growing up behind the counter of her parents' business in Wales, forms part of the All Our Stories exhibition at the Migration Museum, Lewisham Shopping Centre, until December 2025.Producer: Katy Hickman
