Time-travelling estate agent from Cwmbran wins hearts in bestselling sequel
A fictional estate agent from Cwmbran is fast becoming one of the UK’s most beloved time travellers — thanks to a garage-based portal, a second chance at teenage heartbreak, and a shiny suit that’s seen better decades.
Eric Meek, the central character in Dale Bradford’s Time-Travelling Estate Agent series, has struck a chord with readers across the country. The first book, released in November 2024, has remained in Amazon’s Top 30 Time Travel Books, and its newly released sequel is now climbing the same chart — with 100% of reviewers awarding it four or five stars.
Set in Cwmbran, where Bradford was born and raised, the series follows Eric — a 60-year-old estate agent dissatisfied with how his life turned out — who stumbles upon a portal in a client’s garage that allows him to travel back to 3 July 1976, the best and worst day of his youth. What begins as a personal quest to rewrite his own past soon evolves into a mission to solve mysteries and help others, blending sci-fi, whodunnit, and mismatched romance in a tone that’s been compared to Goodnight Sweetheart, Groundhog Day, and 50 First Dates.
“Eric has proven to be a very popular character,” said Bradford. “Following the BBC Panorama broadcast and the Sell House Fast study, he might even be helping to improve the public’s view of the profession.”
In the sequel, Eric returns to the long hot summer of ’76 — not just for a quick visit, but to live in the past, find work, and navigate a new cast of characters while investigating the mysterious death of a local band called The Faith. The story deepens Eric’s emotional journey while keeping the humour and heart that made the first book a hit.
Bradford, who now lives in Newport, previously edited two long-running B2B magazines — Indie Magazine and Erotic Trade Only — and published a non-fiction book in 2023 titled From Sex Shops To Supermarkets, exploring the rise of the adult toy industry. He now writes full time, with the third and final instalment of the Time-Travelling Estate Agent trilogy due in early 2026.
Both books are available in ebook (£1.99), paperback (£9.99) and hardback (£14.99) formats, and are free to read on Kindle Unlimited.

Reflecting on 3 big purchases ( for us) and so pleased that we were able to #shoplocal
1. Woollen Hall and stair carpet bought from #Newport family firm
2. Electric Recliner chair from local firm in #Cwmbran. Constructed in the South Wales Valley
3. Blinds for the front of the house bought from #Newport family firm.
I am happy that we have been able to support these firms and help our local community thrive.
Jump forward in time to 2017, and my sweaty big palms are opening a big letter with an Oxford postmark on it, the contents of which is a letter telling me I'd passed the course and had been awarded a Masters degree. The Manic Street Preachers are so right: libraries really do give us power. 📖📚
