Citylets.co.uk Now On Android

Filed Under Citylets.co.uk News, Did you Know...? by thomas | Leave a Comment


Citylets.co.uk has become only the second major property portal in the UK to embrace Android, the Google powered Smartphones.

The Citylets Android app is available on a wide range of phones such as Samsung, Sony, HTC and LG. Collectively, with our top rated Apple iphone app, it means Citylets has gone truly mobile.

Android powered Smartphones are the market leader in the US and with sales now outstripping those of its main (iPhone) rival in the UK, they are expected to take the No 1 spot here this year. As such, we felt it was now a platform we should offer our viewers & we are expecting a healthy uptake in the days ahead.

The key to its success has been its availability through a variety of manufacturers and on a wide range of handsets catering to the full spectrum of the consumer market.

The Citylets Belfast Quarterly Report Q1 2011

Filed Under Belfast Property News, Citylets Rental Reports, Citylets.co.uk News, Property, Renting news by DanCookson | Leave a Comment

Property renters living in and around Belfast are paying 4.2% more in rent than they did a year ago, according to the results of our most recent report (Trends in Belfast Private Rented Sector) published on Thursday 12th May.  Strong demand from would be first-time buyers helped push up average rent prices over the last 12 months, particularly for one-bedroom apartments, which recorded a hike of almost 8%.

Our Belfast lettings report is the fifth since it was launched at the beginning of 2010 , and the average rent paid across all property types at the end of March 2011 was £567- up from £544 a year ago.  The average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment was £492 against £456 at the end of March last year, while the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment grew by almost 3% to £587.

This rental growth is in marked contrast to the housing sales market which has experienced a steady decline in average prices since August 2007.  The chart below illustrates the comparative stability of rental values to house prices since 2008.
