In the latest of our initiatives designed to improve the way houses we market are presented on the internet, Coutts Byers has launched a new sound bite service. Based on the concept of a property podcast it is now possible to listen to Lucy guide you round a property, the local area and even help you find the nearest school, pub or shop.

We know that a picture is worth a thousand words (that's why we make such an effort to offer as many photographs and floor plans on our website as possible), but a picture does not  tell you all the information you need. Parents need to know about local schools, commuters about rail and road links and we all want to know about local amenities. Our new property sound bite service is designed so that whilst you browse the pictures, explore the floor plans and look at the map you can listen to our independent guide to the house and area. On the right of the property page, just under the photo you will find a box that allows to you start and stop the podcast.

The voice you hear is Lucy, our mother of two, part time working, housewife, country living and straight talking voice of reason. Lucy has a simple brief, to tell you how she feels about each house, its location and most importantly add in all the snippets of information you would need to know when a buying the house - where the local pub is, what the primary school is like, how long will it take to get to Canterbury etc.

We think the concept of a Coutts Byers property sound bite is a great way to experience a house before you visit it.  Click here to start searching our houses for sale in Canterbury, the villages and coastal areas now.
