Ep10, S3 - North London Legend Murray Lee and Portalgeddon

Simon Whale and David Mintz are joined by Murray Lee King of Golders Green and a stalwart of the property industry for over forty years, currently at the helm of Dreamview Estates. More recently, Murray has been at the forefront of an effort to unite agents in the recent protests and negotiations with the property portals and the main antagonist Rightmove. With Rightmove refusing to break radio silence, have we seen the best that Rightmove has to offer? Will Zoopla step up to the challenge? Are the numbers of agents that have left Rightmove significant enough to bring about any tangible and lasting change? What of the myriad of freemium model portals that have come out of the shadows looking to capitalise on Rightmove’s PR blunders? We catch up with Murray the font of all North London knowledge, who gives us the inside scoop on the impasse reached by the “four horsemen of the portal apocalypse”* (*copywrite Chris Watkins if he could ever say it!!) A fascinating insight into the inner workings of the NAEA (Property mark), the industry and the portal wars.
