Property Blog Awards recognise The Big Property List

Kudos to the people over at Primelocation, arguably the second most popular UK property portal, owned and operated by the Digital Property Group, for awarding us the runners up prize for the best property blog post in 2010.

We got the recognition for an insight piece we published last year about the Tesco/ Spicerhaart Online Estate agent isold.com and their direct marketing approach targeting homeowners in their launch areas.  The post received quite a lot of comments from estate agents and discussion from the online property community.

We were in good company and beaten to the post (get it?) by  Sam Collett with an article on her intelligent and entertaining What Sam Saw Today blog – a diary of a property developer, professional landlord and entrepreneur.

Other runners up in the category were Ben Harris’ Housing Dabble, Graham Downie’s A little Drop of Cognac and Henry Pryor’s Housing Expert.

The overall best blog 2010 award rightly (in our opinion) went to Graham Norwood’s property newshound which just goes to show that print and online journalism can compliment one another as Graham is one of the UK’s foremost Print Property Journalist and in our eyes the most clued up technology-wise.

Accepting his award Graham said:

“I’m delighted and honoured…so much property writing, by industry professionals and journalists, concentrates on the most exclusive homes.

They are fantastic but I wanted my blog to look at other issues, too, in a way which informed and entertained, and sometimes infuriated.”

Well said.
