…are themselves beginning to sound like a broken record. Everything has to be on a biblical scale when we talk about house prices and today is no different, year-on-year British house prices have fallen by 8.1% according to Nationwide. And, you guessed it, that’s the biggest annual drop since rec...

Yes, believe it or not someone at one of the UK's bigger estate agencies (50 offices across the country) was stupid enough to do this. They uploaded the property to our most popular listings site with the word 'lesbians' in the spot where the property reference number should have been. The gay c...

You betcha it is! The last couple of gems to come from Real Estate Connect relate to some of the key problems that any real estate superhero has to face… Your inbox has a zillion emails and keeps getting more, how the heck do you stay on top of it?

In the UK we have a site called Gumtree, it's a lot like CraigsList...an online classifieds site with ads from dating to house sales. Gumtree recently published a report examining today’s British rental market. The findings were very interesting and I'd be interested to hear if you think there ar...
