Alongside mainstream media, there are many property news channel websites as well as social media, blogs, industry news magazines / newsletters and even gossip down the local pub. Property is usually a popular discussion within current affairs, we all love property and most of our working lives surrounds property and paying off our most costly asset! How many of us have spent an hour or two browsing property on Rightmove just daydreaming or being nosy?!
