A couple of weeks ago I gave my take on the Primelocation Property Blogging Awards lineup.
Now the results have been announced I am delighted that the judges and voting proletariat have made their awards in line with my own reading habits:
Best blog
Winner: propertynewshound.com
One of my favourite reads, and very nearly my vote in the users section. The judges were won over by his topical, insightful and authoritative property market musings.
Best blog post
Winner: What Sam Saw Today: Today I got rid of squatters from my London flat
Is it so very bad of me to feel smug and say “I told you so?”. Three months ago, soon after it’s launch I fingered “What Sam Saw Today” as THE up and coming Blog. In the words of the judges “These reflections delve into the joy and pain of being a property developer by telling personal stories to make this blog compelling reading. This post scooped the prize because of its great pace and drama – an online page turner if there ever was one.”
Best newcomer
Winner: Planet Property
This new blog from property writer Mike O’Flynn ran away with the Best Newcomer crown, thanks to its fresh mix of news, views and fun featured properties. Being a newcomer I haven’t read it yet ….. but that is going to change!
The Users’ Favourite Blog
Winner: Buying Agent
Yes – this is the one that we the readers voted for. Over 1,200 votes were cast and 25% went to Buying Agent – also known as Tracy Kellett – who writes this unapologetically opinionated blog about her life as a buying agent.
The official Primelocation Property Blogging Awards Results

All the blog writing has inspired me to start writing again, long after I left lyrics and music for Interior design as my fave creative interest, now made to think again! Writing is such a pleasure, either music,words or stories and now blogs are inspiring me even to think about making films, Thanks to all you writers for re-awakening my passion to tell a story, or say something about what I have seen,how it touched me,what was funny or just in my humble opinion. Well done to all winners,you have reminded me writing about it is so important!
Thanks Nick – I can just see that smug look on your face now
I am thrilled you have always had such belief in me!
