It’s here! Our most requested feature, Map Search, is now available in Property Hive. Map search is something we get asked about numerous times a week. Previously we’ve always had to integrate it using bespoke code which takes time and means there’s always slight differences in the way we do it between sites. With this new Map […]

To describe video as the ‘next big thing’ would be like explaining that in the future Google could be important, that online estate agency may one day happen, or that we should all watch out for the emergence of tablet computers. Just in case my analogies missed the mark, I’m saying loud and clear that video is not […]

There are a few features that get requested all the time by our users. We do our best to cater for these by listening to the most requested features and coming up with the best solution possible.

Twenty years ago, back in 1996, if you wanted to sell your home your options were clear – you would simply pop down to your local estate agency, one of just a few on the high street, and register it. They would put up a ‘For Sale’ sign, advertise it in the local papers and […]

One of the most common questions we get asked is ‘Which themes does your plugin work with?‘, or ‘Will Property Hive work with this theme?‘ as they include a link to a theme they’ve found on Theme Forest. Most of the time our response to these questions is a positive one as, in summary, it can […]

We’re over the moon to be releasing our fifth premium add on today. Aptly named ‘Property Portal‘ it no longer means that Property Hive can only be used on single estate agent sites, but that it can be used to power sites acting as a property portal such as Rightmove and Zoopla by listing properties […]
