HARRY HILL INTERVIEW: Multi-millionaire estate agent is back at work shaking up his trade again | Mail Online

HARRY HILL INTERVIEW: Multi-millionaire estate agent is back at work shaking up his trade again | Mail Online

The sedate pleasures of fly-fishing and bird-watching couldn’t satisfy Harry Hill for long.

Two years ago he stood down as chairman of estate agency giant Countrywide and settled into retirement in his 17th Century pile in rural Essex. But tomorrow the 63-year-old multi-millionaire will be back at work in London when he launches an online conveyancing service called In-Deed.

Hill, who also founded the £1.2 billion property website Rightmove, says: ‘A couple of years ago I came home from my job carrying a briefcase for the last time and was looking forward to retirement. For the first few weeks it was fine. But I can only relax for so long and am not one for hobbies. I realised I had to go back to work – it keeps me feeling alive.’
