BANG THE DRUM
Welcome to J
ust back from the Property Professionals Show, which brought together suppliers and delegates from all areas of the residential property business including sales and lettings agents and exhibitors offering software, training, floorplans, tax services, energy services, mortgages, conveyancing, photography, legal services, websites, marketing and professional
membership organisations. Our report gives you the full story of the exhibition, the seminars and the superb Awards Dinner. Of course, the other big event during May was the General Election! And what an event
that was; cliffhanger voting, excitement and great debate at how the new parliament would be constructed and, finally, on the Labour Party’s eventual admission that they had indeed lost the election, a resignation from Gordon Brown.

scope for highly amusing editorial, David and Nick were joined together in coalition in the sunny leafy gardens of No.10 Downing Street. Our election report covers what we already know; but there is great deal more to come that will impact on the property market. HIPs are set for abolition but as we go to press it isn’t clear when that will happen. CGT rises could, it is feared, decimate the Private Rented Sector so there is already mounting pressure on the Government to clariy their intentions on that.
Also in this issue we have the final parts of three special PROPERTYdrum series; Buying
an Agency, Photography Masterclass and our major Software Review. All of these features have been extraordinarily popular – clearly providing the information that today’s agents really need and generating a great response from those who have read them in their copy of PROPERTYdrum as well as from those (who haven’t subscribed) that they have told! Our subscriptions have increased dramatically over the last few weeks as the word gets around.
We will be bringing on more useful property market features in the coming months but please, if you have any comment or suggestions on what you would like to see in PROPERTYdrum we would be delighted to hear them, just email me,
