I will take the trouble to understand what you’re trying to achieve, and give you honest advice designed to get you there in your timescale, not mine. I’ll tell you what I can do and what I can’t. If I don’t know something, I’ll find out rather than guess. And I’ll treat you with fairness, consideration and respect, which sounds obvious until you’ve dealt with people who don’t. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb633f6cb927448d8a6855/d01e9933-12ed-4288-8678-0eef74611498/mike_bidwell_blue.jpg Home - About Mike I’ve been in property since the early 1980s. I trained as a commercial surveyor and auctioneer, joined the old ISVA, and learned the trade the proper way: on the rostrum and on the doorstep. Most of my working life was spent at Fine & Country. I went from general manager to national sales director to chief operating officer, sat on the main board of its parent company, and ran the licensing of the brand at home and abroad. I also ran the East Anglia and Cambridge businesses. After that I led membership growth at the Guild of Property Professionals, then went back to the sharp end as a self-employed agent. In 2017 I set up Exquisite Home. Some numbers, because people ask. My largest single sale was £13.1 million, in Park Street, Mayfair. In the twelve months to January 2026 I personally sold over £54 million of property. I’ve run my own businesses for more than thirty years. I’m currently going through the RICS Senior Professional Assessment towards chartered membership. I’d rather say that plainly than put letters after my name that I haven’t earned yet. Off duty: rowing, rugby, Ipswich Town, and a house in Normandy that I’m slowly coming to terms with selling.
