Wowhaus
A new kid on the blogging block, Wowhaus scours property portals to find the most quirky, unique and architecturally significant homes on the market.

Pretty photos and a bit of background info on each stunning home makes Wowhaus' stream of property porn a daily distraction at 4Homes Towers.

The Rat and Mouse
The popular Rat and Mouse website styles itself as 'London's property blog' but there's something for everyone here.

A daily dose of house price speculation, interesting property news and funny links make this a genuinely interesting blog.

Huntwriter
One for Grand Designs fans here, we reckon: Roger Hunt's 'renovation story' posts read more like a novel, while his articles, 'bites' and blog posts about sustainability and building techniques appeal to our techier side.

The Big Property List blog
The Big Property List does what it says on the tin - a list of property for sale and to rent in the UK - but their meaty blog covers big topics in an accessible way.

Posts about conveyancing, planning permission and selling at auction sit amongst the more topical house price speculation and other snippets from the news.

The House Historian
Melanie Backe-Hansen unearths some fascinating historical home details in her role as in-house historian for estate agent Chesterton Humberts.

If you're interested in period features, old maps and census info and - yes - even the odd skeleton in a closet, then you'll like this.

Agent's Diary
And finally: ever wondered what goes on in an estate agent's head? This agent's 'secret diary' tells it like it is, colourful language and all.

Secret Agent describes himself as 'weary' and 'middle aged'. We'd like to add 'rude', 'cantankerous' and... well, 'downright funny'!
