Thinkproperty.com Launches Property News Content
Thinkproperty.com has integrated real time property news content into its site.
London, UK (PRWEB) October 24, 2008 -- Thinkproperty.com, a leading consumer property portal, has added real time property news to its website.
The new feature allows users to browse through the latest property news (http://www.thinkproperty.com/news.htm ) on selling, letting, buying and renting property (http://www.thinkproperty.com/renting.htm ), as well as information on estate agents, property prices and general market news. thinkproperty.com (http://www.thinkproperty.com/ ) updates this news in real time via a bespoke news content feed on the site.
thinkproperty.com's directory of locations has also been improved to include targeted news content, as well as local area information such as school performance results and sold prices. Users can continue to browse through locations using the existing sitemap, but can now also perform a property search from the directory itself.
Mark Goddard, Managing Director of thinkproperty.com comments: "We are delighted with these exciting additions to thinkproperty.com. We know that research forms a large part of the home movers process when buying property (http://www.thinkproperty.com/buying.htm ), renting or selling property. Both of these changes will further enhance the user experience of the site, which remains at the heart of our development focus. "
