- Selling the French Horn Restaurant and the 2024 Resi Update
Send us Fan Mail
Steve Woodford, executive chairman of Haslams Estate Agents in Reading, joins us to look at both the marketing of a remarkable site on the Berkshire border with Oxfordshire, and to discuss the housing market in general.
Through decades of family connections, Steve's involvement with a fine dining venue, the French Horn at Sonning, has led to Haslams being given the task of marketing the riverside restaurant, hotel, and associated land and houses, alongside Christies.
He reveals a list of some of the biggest names in show business and royalty who have used the restaurant over the years and talks about the options for what could happen to it – anything from a fitness spa to a wedding venue is included although Steve admits he hopes the fine dining will continue.
On the wider housing market, he talks about a new feeling of optimism for 2024 and weighs up the problems first-time buyers face with getting on the housing ladder.

The Resi Market in Review – Interview with Jonny Denton, Sales Director, Darcliffe Homes and Mike Shearn, Investment & Development Director, Haslams Estate Agents.
This podcast was an opportunity to lift the lid on the South East residential market. Building on the contrasting perspectives from a SME residential developer and a residential sales company, we wanted to understand what is happening in the resi market and how it could be improved. So much of the blame is laid at the feet of developers but the picture painted by this podcast is more nuanced. With a General Election due next year, the need to build more houses has never been more acute and this conversation sets the scene for what will be a torrid build up to the elections with housing at the top of everyone's agenda.

Green Park Reading interview with Rory Carson and Ed Smee
Green Park Reading is arguably the most established and successful business community of its type in the Thames Valley and possibly the South East UK. From its Prudential roots, the community has morphed from an office location into a mixed use scheme managed by Mapletree Investments, as adjoining land has been developed into office, retail and residential projects. With the arrival of the new railway station, the community is now embracing change once again with plans for new facilities and upgraded buildings. This podcast is an excellent opportunity to share what needs to be done to keep the space world class.
