Property pricing changes on the way
On 6 October we’re making some changes to the listing fees and promotional fees for private sellers listing property for sale and for rent. This also includes car parks for rent.

Improved search results
We’ve been making some tweaks to search results when you do a keyword search from the homepage. At this stage we’re running it as a trial and 50% of members who are logged in will be seeing the changes.
