I want to live in Brighton and Hove: Buy local

Brighton and Hove is the spiritual home of buying local. We all love our local produce, love the fact that we celebrate Sussex produce, the sparkling wines, beautiful beef and lamb and rapeseed oil. When it comes to dining out we favour those restaurants that join in this joy of local.

Fifteen years ago when we launched Latest Homes it seemed that the love of local was not restricted to food and drink, far from it. When it came to buying and selling property local and independent was the people choice. In a way those local and independent agents became the backbone of this magazine – and they remain so to this day.

But somewhere along the way the internet became the place to market your home for sale or to find your new home. It was new, it was modern, it was rammed full of property and it could be seen globally. All good points and the reason why we launched our own property portal, latesthomes.co.uk, which to this day has more local properties on it than any other site. And in that lies one of the key clues, yes the word local, we all love it.

But it’s more than that, of course it is. Local is great but we are also seeing that what we want is a more personal service. We want to talk to a human being and we want to do that face to face. Agents want to do that too, they want to meet their clients, to be able to get a clear and accurate picture of what kind of home you are looking for and find the right property for you. They have local knowledge that a website can only imitate and they have human skills too.

Latest Homes is committed to helping you to buy or sell homes and the pages of the magazine and our websites are full of great property and professional advice and now every property that you find there will also be marketed through social media to a massive audience.
