Career
When she was younger, Sarah’s parents moved many times throughout England and Scotland and she developed a natural feel for different homes and relocation. Her natural aptitude for advising clients on how to make the most of their homes, together with her study of interior design and soft furnishings, resulted in her setting up her own home image consultancy. In the summer of 2003, Sarah auditioned for the British Broadcasting Corporation and was chosen to be the property stylist for 10 one-hour specials of the already successful "To Buy or Not to Buy".
She was then invited to co-present the second series with Kristian Digby and in 2007 finished filming the sixth series, co-presenting with Simon Rimmer.
She has also presented "Trading Up", featured on Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan"s "20 Quickest Ways.." on Five, co-presented ‘The Property Market’ in Bulgaria for the Overseas Property Channel, and appeared a number of times on British Broadcasting Corporation Breakfast and Radio Five Live in her capacity as a property expert. As a speaker, theatre host and expert panelist, Sarah has appeared at property shows and exhibitions around the United Kingdom, including British Broadcasting Corporation Good Homes, Invest in Property, RETV Live, Homes Overseas, The Home & Garden Show, Viva Italia and Landlord & Buy to Let Show.
She writes for a number of interior style, home and investment publications on a wide variety of United Kingdom and overseas property-related subjects, is the Property Editor for Gay Times Magazine, and works freelance as Puerto Rico & Communications Manager for Platinum Property Partners, the world’s first property investment franchise.
