With a combined experience of 25 years in the premium property market and over 1000 sold homes under their belt, Rosie and John know a thing or two about beautiful homes.

We chat about what makes a space truly outstanding, their architecture heroes and favourite buildings around London, and they answer some listeners’ questions about the property market, including some invaluable advice for first-time buyers.

At the end of the conversation, we also touch on career changes and impostor syndrome, and the different approaches of men and women towards this topic. It was refreshing to both be able to talk candidly with Rosie about our shared experience, but also to hear John’s perspective on it.

It was a warm August day when we recorded, and I kept the menu light and fresh: pan-seared salmon fillets marinated in a herby, citrusy mixture, and a watermelon, feta, cucumber and pine nuts salad to go with it. All paired with the Jasmine Mao Jiang Green Tea from Avantcha, which I have used to infuse the pannacotta we had for dessert too.
