You can subscribe to their emailers to receive a daily roundup of their top stories.
- Property Reporter – Reporting on an average of 6 stories a day, Property Reporter allows you to subscribe and receive instant email alerts as and when the story is published. This is also a fantastic site to collect property specific data and statistics, as well as regular reporting on the current property hotspots.
