Meet Our Team of Experts
Abode was founded by Nathan Anderson-Dixon and was shortly thereafter joined by his sister, Sonia Bettridge. From the outset, the business has been built on a clear and unwavering ethos: to put the customer at the heart of every decision, deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients, and operate with fairness and integrity at all times.
That ethos continues to drive everything we do today and is reflected in the strength of our client relationships. It is testament to this approach that, last year, 60% of our valuation leads were generated through repeat business and personal recommendations—clear evidence of the trust our clients place in Abode and the results we consistently deliver.

Nathan Anderson-Dixon
Managing Director
Nathan founded Abode in 2001, launching the business with a £15,000 loan from his father. From those early beginnings, he has grown Abode into the area’s leading regional estate agency. As Managing Director, Nathan oversees the strategic direction and overall management of the business, ensuring Abode remains customer-focused, innovative, and results-driven.
