The market, counted rather than opined
Most property coverage tells you what a market feels like. We would rather show you what it is doing: live counts, live asking prices, and the changes worth knowing about.
The desk is new and the reading list is short. We would rather say that than fill the page.
The market right now
Four of the markets we hold
Counted live from the listings feed this minute, not from a quarterly report. The same numbers the city guides are built from.
Briefings
What the desk has published
Four briefings so far, and every one of them is still being written. The headline and the summary are here; the full piece is not, and the card says so rather than sending you to a page that does not exist.

Full write-up coming soonComing soon: the write-ups. Every briefing is being written now and each one gets its own page the moment it lands, so the live figures above are the real half of this section until then.
What we will cover
Three kinds of piece, and no filler
The desk has one rule: if we cannot count it or explain it, we do not publish it. No forecasts dressed as facts, and no article that exists only to hold a headline.
The market, counted
How many homes are for sale or to rent, what the asking range is, and how the middle of the market is moving by city and by neighbourhood.
Price cuts
What share of listings have already cut their asking price, and where. It is the most useful public signal of what sellers are actually being told.
Buying and selling, explained
The parts of the process nobody explains twice: what a survey covers, what the paperwork does, and what is normal to ask for.
Read the market instead of the coverage
City guides are the same idea with a map: live counts, asking ranges and the neighbourhoods inside each city.
