We don't say it enough, but at the Rat and Mouse we appreciate our readers... all 2,500 of you who visit us each and every day (except, for some reason, Sundays... when it's apparently decreed that roughly 1,000 of you must rest and not look at property porn or read property gossip for a full 24 hours). We especially appreciate those readers who get involved. Every email, every comment (except these, because we have reason to believe they're all posted by one very sad actor person)... we appreciate them, and we want more of them. We know that sifting through the world's press (so you don't have to) for the best London property stories of the day is useful, but it's not enough for us. We enjoy ourselves most when we're being more of a "hub". And we can't be that without you. So - let's share this evil obsession. We want:

- Property development tips. New development in your area? Post us a pic as one building goes down or another goes up.
- Property news opinion. Boom or bust, tax and legislation... we want your views.
- Your impressions of your neighbourhood, real insider knowledge from each and every London postcode.
- Calls for property-related help - we'll post 'em, with pleasure - you monitor the comments.
- Your photographs... porn-worthy properties, new developments, extraordinary viewings... phone-snaps welcome.
- Estate agent tales - as a buyer, as a vendor, hell, as an agent. We want to hear the estate agents' side of things, too.

Frankly, we want to get to know you. Here's how it works... you email us here. We assume you'd prefer to remain anonymous and under no circumstances share or publish your name or email address... unless you specifically tell us it's okay. That's it. And thanks - as always - for reading.
