Property Development company

Sarah set-up her own property development company when she was 24 with her brother and boyfriend.

Speaking of which, here’s a collection of property development tips from the Bean herself.

Property Ladder

Sarah landed her role on Property Ladder by randomly talking to someone at a party. The following day her sister-in-law rang Sarah asking her if she wanted to be the front face for a new series. The rest as they say is history.

The early days

Before moving into property, Beeny tried her hand at various jobs including working for Save the Children, having a window-cleaning business, and selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door. Sarah’s first job was selling ice-cream. Who woulda’ thought?

Family influence

Sarah’s father was an architect so she had been on building sites all her life, that’s where she built her foundation of knowledge regarding properties.

Sarah the author

Sarah has written two best-selling books, both on the subject of developing property for profit.

Britain’s Best homes

In 2003, Sarah co-hosted Britain’s Best Homes for Channel 4.

Sarah’s dating site

Sarah recently launched a dating site: mysinglefriend.com (I know, how randomly odd). She came up with the idea when trying introduce a friend of hers to the brother of someone at work. Sarah started her internet dating service with a pal two years ago after spending most of her life match-making friends. They both mortgaged their houses to begin the site.

Sarah’s breasts

Anyone with at least 1/20 vision must have got an eyeful of Sarah’s… errr… “assets”

Depending on how you look at it, she’s either fortunately or unfortunately, formed quite a [seedy] fan base because of them.

Sarah grew up wanting a boob REDUCTION (nooo, say it ain’t so!). She was the first at school to get boobs and wear a bra. She was incredibly self-conscious and asked her father for a reduction. He told her to wait until she was 21 and, if I she wanted it, she could do it. It wasn’t until she met Graham that he encouraged her to wear T-shirts and tighter-fitting tops.
