Yorkshire estate agent Andrew Beadnall on 48 years in the business and how to buy and sell in today's market
After 48 years in estate agency and 30 years at the helm of his own business, Andrew Beadnall is adept at riding the ups and downs of the housing market. Those years of experience, a “can do” attitude and keep fit routines that involve cycling and training in the gym four times a week, helped him cope with the first lockdown and its explosive, exhausting aftermath that has seen everyone in the home buying and selling industry run ragged.
“When Michael Gove announced the lockdown on breakfast TV, I just sat there and thought ‘what are we going to do?’.” The answer was furlough staff from Beadnall Copley’s Ripon, Wetherby and Harrogate offices, put on a suit and sit in the Wetherby HQ fielding calls, rather than turning on the answerphone.
