Seasoned property expert and TV pundit Russell Quirk is hosting a new podcast for property buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords.
Commissioned by Radio News Hub – providers of radio content to 400 regional radio stations – Home Front will see the motor mouth cut through the noise and unlock the secrets of the UK property market.
The first episode features an interview with Ben Madden of Fine & Country on what an estate agent actually does for their fee.
Plus, Quirk sets out his stall and provides a solid argument for why UK agents should charge more.
PANTOMIME VILLAIN
Quirk tells the show: “The estate agency fee typically in the UK is less than 1% of the sale price – pretty much the lowest in the UK in terms of commissions, fees, of any other country in the world.
“The media like to slate estate agents as being a kind of pantomime villain and so on.
“But I think that they get a raw deal because they do quite a lot for their money and they don’t always get paid.”
BRAND-NEW PODCAST

He tells Property Soup: “This is a brand-new podcast I’m hosting for property buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords.
