What is AboutProperty?

AboutProperty is a website dedicated to residential property news and case studies (both UK and overseas), home improvement, interior decor and gardening.

Who is it for?

AboutProperty is a consumer site for everyone interested in homes and property. If you are looking for news and features on DIY, gardens, house prices, kitting out your home or investing overseas, then AboutProperty is for you.

Who is involved?

AboutProperty is provided by SquareDigital. SquareDigital is the consumer publishing division of Adfero Ltd. Its network of websites was created in 2004 to exploit the growing market for online-only news content.

Launching that year with myfinances and politics.co.uk, SquareDigital has grown its network organically through search engines by publishing high-quality content. AboutProperty and travel website travelbite were added a year later and were followed in 2007 by computer games website gamezine and motoring site totallymotor.

Today our network receives more than 500,000 unique visitors from within the UK each month.
