The Aim-listed firm said today that its revenue for the full year is expected to be approximately £18.5m, a year-on-year increase of some 445 per cent.

Trading throughout the second half of the year has continued the strong growth experienced in the first half, it added.

"Our rapid growth in the year demonstrates that customers are increasingly being won over to our hybrid model, which offers high quality service through our experienced local property experts and innovative use of technology, as well as a competitive, flat fee," Michael Bruce, chief executive, said.
