Turning a £474,500 Auction Purchase into £900,000 | Bernadette Anderson: Episode 107

Bernadette Anderson is an award-winning property developer and investor based in London. From navigating down valuations and tight auction deadlines to managing development finance in one of London's most competitive boroughs, Bernadette brings a level of rigour and resilience to her deals that most developers never achieve.We get into the Richmond development that won her the award, a project that included two down valuations, both successfully challenged and a final valuation of £900,000 on a property purchased at auction for £474,500. We also talk about what it actually takes to overcome analysis paralysis and take action and what the common traits of award winners are.🎟️ Join us live at the Property Developer Show as we tour different cities across the UK in 2026!
