‘Under Offer: Estate Agents On The Job’ hits the screens

A NEW SHOW for BBC Two will unlock the doors to the estate agency profession by giving viewers exclusive access to the working lives of 11 estate agents from across the whole country as they help their clients in their efforts to become home owners.

Under Offer: Estate Agents On The Job, a new six-part weekly series, airs this week, and will feature a wide range of personalities working within the estate agency sector, all sharing the same goal: to get their clients what they want.

This major new series follows the highs and lows of the people that broker property purchases, with the various fortunes of estate agents across the UK put in the spotlight.

Estate agent to the wealthy, Gary Hersham, operates in some of the UK’s most expensive postcodes. His latest instruction, a £39 million town-house complete with eight-bathrooms, private gym and cinema, is up for grabs in Mayfair W1 – the heart of prime central London.

It is a very different world for Lynne Blaney in Spennymoor, County Durham – where houses start at auction for £1.

Exeter, Devon, one of the UK’s most desirable places to live, sees rookie estate agent Lewis Rossiter juggling two deadlines – a pregnant wife and a demanding client who wants her house sold – fast.

And, in Birmingham, veteran agent Dave Simms’ dog-eat-dog world, two couples, desperate to downsize, compete for the same prized bungalow in Birmingham.

Commissioned by Alison Kirkham, Head of Commissioning Factual Features & Formats, the series was filmed between June 2013 and January 2014 by the independent production company betty. Annabel Hobley is the executive producer and Simon Draper is the series producer for betty.

Alison Kirkham, BBC Head of Commissioning for Factual Features & Formats, said: “Estate agents are irresistibly watchable characters. In this series, they offer fascinating insights into Britain’s extraordinarily varied property market. From multi-million-pound houses through to repossessed homes auctioned with a starting price of just a pound. Along the way the audience can pick up insider tips on how best to buy and sell their own homes.”
