HouseBuyFast: Featured in August

Each month, we take time to share where we have been featured in the media. From newspapers to magazines and online outlets, it is always rewarding to see our property insights being recognised.

August is well known in the property business for being a quieter month, but despite the seasonal slowdown we have continued to gain strong coverage. As we look ahead and gear up for a busy autumn, August brought some fantastic features across a variety of platforms.

In case you missed any of it, here is a quick round-up of what we have been up to recently.
