Scotland needs its own strong, independent portals to maintain its unique position in mainland UK as a region that offers agents property portal choice.<\/p>\n<p>To that end we do not distribute Scottish property listings to either of the mainstream UK-wide property sites as, we believe, this helps deliver them into the local region and will alter the portal landscape in which Scottish agents must reside for the long term. There has always been a duty to agents for a portal to discern between potential partners.<\/p>\n<p>All our key portal partnerships are now with local property sites such as the ESPC and GSPC and local media businesses such as The Daily Record, Media Scotland\u2019s flagship title.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of mobile (including tablet and App usage) continues recording 40% of visits over the year.
