Estate Agent On The Radio

DJ Alan King with Sam Samuel 

As a former sonar operator, Edward Ashdale's Sam Samuel is used to electronic transmissions. However, on Friday 8th March 2015 he was on the airwaves himself, with DJ Alan King of Meridian Radio in London.

Fresh from a game of golf (lost, Sam claims, owing to the distraction of his upcoming radio appearance), Sam chatted with Alan on air and filled listeners in on the life and times of a London estate agent. Those times included a Royal Navy career, a stint in an estate agents before having his own company, and the merger that created Edward Ashdale, the estate agents where he is now one of three directors.

Sam's time on air included Alan playing a The Happy Mondays track on his behalf, and a separate tricky five minutes. This was the time Alan gave Sam, 'our resident estate agent', to prepare a description of the Meridian Radio studio for sale (not that it will be listed any time soon). A rapid think and write later, Sam had his words, and he read them out on air:

"A well-equipped self contained studio flat with large window providing views to the front. Fitted cupboards and drawer units providing plenty of storage space. Ample electric points and connections for broadband. The flat also provides a store cupboard to the rear. An adequately spaced flat ideal for the first time buyer or investment purchase."

Considering that Alan's show is listened to by actor John Challis, car-dealer Boycie in TV's Only Fools And Horses, Sam might be able to call on additional help with selling the property. Certainly Alan and the DJ coming on air after him, Dominique, enjoyed the property description.

One listener messaged DJ Alan in shock at hearing an estate agent on the show. He (or she) might have to get used to it, as Sam will be back. Watch this space for the date and time. Ahead of that appearance, Sam and Alan King on Meridian will take any property related questions that Sam can help with. Or maybe even golf ones.
