Scotland's two largest estate agencies join s1homes

From today s1homes' 200,000 users will be able to access all 4,000 properties currently being sold by Slater Hogg & Howison and Countrywide, marking another leap forward in the breadth and depth of properties available on the site.

s1 Managing Director, Mark Smith, said: "As well as being the biggest, Slater Hogg & Howison and Countrywide are also two of the most respected brands within the Scottish property market, so naturally we're delighted that they have chosen to partner with s1homes."

"By joining s1homes we'll be helping our clients market their properties even more effectively." said Michael Luck, Managing Director of Slater, Hogg & Howison. "We were impressed with s1homes commitment to the Scottish property market and their plans for the future."

Managing Director of Countrywide, Mairi Eckford, said "It's important for us that we provide each individual client with the best value in marketing their property and being part of s1homes undoubtedly helps us achieve that."

s1homes is Scotland's no.1 independent property site listing both sale and rental properties. It is visited by 200,000 home seekers a month and now lists 18,500 properties for sale and rent all over Scotland. As well as the "standard" site at www.s1homes.com it also provides a site specifically for mobile users at mobile.s1homes.com.

Slater Hogg & Howison are the largest estate agency in Scotland. Last year they sold 10,000 properties from their 26 branches which stretch across Central Scotland.

Countrywide, known as Scotland's Favourite Estate Agents, pride themselves in achieving the best possible price for their clients. They have 15 branches in West Central Scotland and are part of the UK's largest Estate Agency group with over 1,100 group offices.
