Welcome back and a very Happy New Year to Rat and Mouse readers. It looks like shaping up to be one of the most interesting since our launch. Thanks to everyone who commented, submitted tips or just visited the London Property Blog in 2007... I hope you'll stick around and stay involved. I'm about to jump in my car and head south, after a New Year spent in Manchester. In the meantime, the first linkage of 2008.
