Why you need an App

With portal giants such as Rightmove and Zoopla it might seem like there’s no need for your own app. Why should you spend the cash on your own app when you can piggyback on the success of these well established brands? While these portals are fantastic tools, an over-reliance could be detrimental to your business.

As an independent chain you should celebrate what makes you stand out from the crowd, Independence!
