Property-Porn Stars
Welcome to Property-Porn Stars, the premium property podcast for property professionals who are either working in, or aspiring to work in, the premium home market, brought to you by your hosts David Lindley and Matt Giggs.
The 'Property-Porn Stars' are the guests joining us in the studio, each of them excellent in their own field when it comes to the premium property markets, while the hosts interview them about their approach, what they've learned, and what they would advise for others working in the premium market to add significant value to their businesses.
If the premium property market is a subject you want to learn more about, or even if it is to take some of the insights you will learn here into another market, you are sure to gain lots of value from listening.
On behalf of the show's hosts, David and Matt, we are incredibly grateful for everyone who gives up their time to listen, and we are always eager for feedback on subjects, guests and questions.

PRIME CUT 2026: What Sellers Actually Want Agents To Do...

PRIME CUT 2026 is here. In this special episode, David Lindley is joined by Simon Leadbetter, Simon Gates and Elaine Penhaul to break down the Voice of the Agent Survey and what it really means for the premium property market. We get into what premium sellers actually want from their agent (spoiler: it's not the lowest fee), why the biggest brands are losing market share, how AI should and shouldn't be used at this level, and why emotional intelligence is becoming the rarest and most valuable asset an agent can have.
This conversation covers:
- What premium sellers actually want from their agent
- Fee is only important to a third of sellers, even below £500k
- Why the cheapest agent is often the most expensive
- Premium clients want advice, not updates
- The agent as conductor of an orchestra
- The biggest premium brands are all losing market share
- Breaking into the premium market and the moat around it
- AI: automate the predictable, humanise the exceptional
- Emotional intelligence as increasingly rare capital
- A two-speed premium market
We only release one episode like this a year, so don't miss out on 2026's PRIME CUT...
