To celebrate the news that the Alexa statistics report that the Property Tribes forum has grown 180% in the last three months, we've put together a round-up of information from the forum for you:

Special offer from Upad for tribal members:

We are delighted to report that the Property Tribes forum is now sponsored by the U.K.'s premier rental marketplace, http://www.upad.co.uk/.  Upad are offering tribal members a special offer of buy one listing, get one listing free.  (Go to the Property Tribes home page and click on the banner to take advantage of this).   Your Upad listing will be distributed to over 100 portals for a one off cost of £59.00 until the property is let.  The great news is that upad covers room lets as well as houses and flats, so do take advantage of this special offer.  The upad site is a great resource for both Landlords and tenants, so do take a few moments to visit and see what it has to offer.

The sponsorship of the Property Tribes forum will allow us to improve the forum and develop it into an even better resource for members, so please do support upad if you have a house or flat to let out!

In the Spotlight

We are currently in the process of introducing some new initiatives to make Property Tribes the most valuable property resource on the web.

One of these includes "In the Spotlight", where we interview key/active members of the community so that you can get to know them better.

The purpose of this is to raise awareness of what tribal members do, so that you know who to go to if you need a particular product, service, or some advice. We hope that one of the benefits of membership of the tribe is increased business transactions between the members.

Our first Spotlight feature is dedicated to our good friend and mortgage broker, Wasim Ahmed.  You can read all about his personal property journey and strategy here.

If you would like to be featured in the Property Tribes Spotlight, please do get in touch.  However, please note that this feature is only for active contributors to the community, not passive viewers.

It's one of the ways we are going to "give something back" to the members who contribute the most to the forum.

Coming soon in the Spotlight:  Roberta Ward, Brian Heath, John Corey, Sally Asling .....
