Prominent figures from Foxtons and Chestertons are amongst the agency leaders featured on a new six-part podcast series from OnTheMarket. 

Hosted by the portal’s senior PR executive Natasha Afxentiou, the first episode comes out this month with subsequent episodes published monthly as part of a wider campaign to engage and support what OTMN calls “serious property seekers” in the rental and sales sectors. 

Each episode features at least one OnTheMarket agent or developer, alongside industry specialists.

Series guests include, Matthew Thompson, Head of Sales at Chestertons, Kia Commodore, a renowned public speaker and presenter of the Pennies to Pounds personal finance podcast, Alex Isidro, Head of New Homes & Investments at Foxtons and Ed McCoy, Group Sales Director at Persimmon Homes. 

The series highlights the important role local lettings and estate agents, personal finance and legal specialists play in guiding movers through the transaction process. In addition, each episode breaks down frequently used industry jargon to ensure consumers are equipped to make informed choices, regardless of their previous level of experience.  

Here’s the episode breakdown:

Episode 1: Moving 101 – The moving process explained 

Episode 2: Essentials for first time movers 

Episode 3: Busting old myths about New Homes – Everything you need to know about buying a new build 

Episode 4: How to start your property search 

Episode 5: City swappers – Exploring UK migration patterns   

Episode 6: Renting 101 – The renting process explained   

OTM chief executive Jason Tebb says: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to call on such a varied group of experts to share valuable information for anyone feeling unsure about how to navigate the pitfalls that come with one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever have to make. 

“Launching a consumer podcast is another great way to support serious property seekers outside of the practical tools we provide them as a portal.

“We’re keen to engage with consumers in meaningful ways and the podcast format allows us to reach a wider audience. It will be exciting to see the series develop and hear from the great contributors we have lined up.”
