We sell, rent, manage, survey, plan and advise...what can we do for you?
In October 2024, we celebrated a year since relocating our Bedford office to Oakley. Embracing a modern open-plan workspace has positively impacted all departments and we are thoroughly enjoying our new offices. If you’re nearby, feel free to drop by for a tour of the office.
Lee Jackson has also joined our auction department as an Auction Property Lister. His charisma and experience have served him well, and he has introduced numerous lots to recent auctions.
This year, we launched the ‘Robinson & Hall Experts Talk’ podcast. As I write this, we’ve released eleven episodes so far. Our experts share their insights and advice on a variety of relevant topics, including the Sustainable Farming Incentive, permitted development rights, development land, listed property refurbishments, and renewable energy, making it convenient for listeners on the go, especially for those with busy schedules!
We also revamped our auction website this year, starting fresh with a complete redesign centred around our users. The new site offers more valuable information, including guides, finance, and solicitor pages, along with a modern aesthetic that enhances navigation.
Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be another bustling year, and as ever we will always keep you in the loop with any important updates.

‘Robinson & Hall Experts Talk’ is the latest, must listen to podcast which is available via our website and the popular podcast channels, such as Apple and Spotify.
So far, the podcast contains 7 episodes which cover the following subjects:
Laura Saunders, Marketing & PR Manager at Robinson & Hall leads the podcasts asking key questions to the experts. She comments “We all have such busy lives, so to cater for everyone’s needs I felt that launching podcasts was a must so people can listen on the go. Our informative articles do get lots of views, but I find podcasts are more interactive and you get a real feel for the expert talking.”
She continues “I wanted to share our expertise by discussing topical subjects in a series of podcasts. The idea is that then our clients can listen to them whilst driving and working.
We are all really pleased with the numbers of listeners to date, and I have a schedule to launch many more so make sure you stay tuned.”

The 25th September marked a memorable moment for Robinson & Hall; our first trade stand in nearly two years and it felt good to be back.
We attended the Gransden Show, Great Gransden – an event full of fantastic stalls, demonstrations, classes, shows such as Heavy Horses and Punch and Judy and an array of animals to admire. It was great to see the local community come together once again and, dare we say it, it felt like we were getting more back to normal.
Thank you to the organisers who put together an event to remember. It was great to see familiar faces, and to meet new, and we hope that everyone who attended enjoyed the day as much as we did.
If you would like more information about the services we offer or to discuss a potential project then please call 01234 352201 or email bedford@robinsonandhall.co.uk
