Lettings Valuer
Liam attended school locally in Ascot and began his career in estate agency aged 18 in the Bracknell area. He has gone on to gain experience within the Maidenhead, Reading and Wokingham markets too. Building relationships is what Liam enjoys the most in his role, which gives him the opportunity to meet and help all kinds of people. Away from work, Liam enjoys playing football throughout the week and for a local Bracknell team on a Sunday (some say the next Sunday League Pirlo).

On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…
On a football pitch in all weathers – potentially a little jaded from the night before.

The thing I like best about my job…
Helping and advising landlords on how to make the process of letting their property as stress-free as possible, and assuring tenants throughout the process so that it becomes an enjoyable and exciting experience.
The person I’d most like to go for a drink with is…
Sir Alex Ferguson.

We have been under lockdown since the Government’s announcement on March 23 of the steps needed to combat COVID-19.
A lot has happened since then and one of the big things this whole experience has done it seems, is to give people a chance to reassess how they are living their lives.
A recent Sky News report featured a survey which suggested just 9% of people want life to return to exactly how was it before the outbreak.
The survey commissioned by the Royal Society of Arts, alongside The Food Foundation, found more than half (54%) of 4,343 people who took part in the YouGov poll hope to make changes in their lives, and for the UK as a whole to learn from the crisis.
The survey also reported:
42% said they value food and other essentials more since the pandemic.38% are cooking from scratch more.61% of people are spending less money. 51% noticed cleaner air outdoors. 27% think there is more wildlife.39% say they are catching up with friends and family more.
Property changes
From a property perspective, we are anticipating the market in Bracknell will bounce back to life like never before.
With people spending much, much more time in their homes, the crisis has made them realise things like; it’s too small, too big, they don’t like their neighbours or they want to move to be nearer family and close friends. It may well be they want to cash in on their equity and live a little more.
Some have also predicted a baby boom as idle hands, well, let’s not go there. And a rise in divorce cases could also be sadly on the horizon.
Whatever happens, at Duncan Yeardley we will be ready for it.
A report last week said that estate agency could be one of the first industry sectors to re-open along with coffee shops and restaurants. So, if you are thinking of making changes to where you live, please feel free to contact us now.
From a purely personal aspect, this whole crazy episode has made us realise the importance of our community’s spirit and the key workers who hold the economy and ‘normal’ life together. We will also value health, freedom, and things we took for granted a lot more.
What about you? What changes will you make to your life when the lockdown ends? We’d love to hear your lockdown stories and what you’ll be changing in the future.
Thanks for reading and remember – stay safe, protect the NHS, save lives.
