Dedicated Rental Website Launches in Northern Ireland
March 23rd 2010 - Daft Media Group, owner of Ireland's largest property website, has today announced the launch of Rent.co.uk, a dedicated property rental website for students and young professionals living and working in Northern Ireland.
Rent.co.uk is part of the Daft Media Group's network of websites whose online presence attracts millions of people every month. The group expanded into Northern Ireland last year with the launch of Daft.com, a property search website offering both sales and property lettings. Rent.co.uk offers an alternative to the letting section of Daft.com and already lists properties for 70% of estate agents in Northern Ireland.
Commenting on the launch Business Development Manager, Catherine Mulholland, said, "We are delighted to have expanded our footprint further in Northern Ireland. After the successful launch of Daft.com we felt it was time to develop our Irish rental website and bring the same quality service to Northern Ireland. Our aim is to provide the fastest, easiest-to-use and most up-to-date rental website in Northern Ireland. The site already has a fantastic range of houses and apartments for rent with hundreds of properties being added every day."
Rent.co.uk already offers an extensive listing of houses and apartments for rent across Northern Ireland, including long and short-term lettings, house shares, student accommodation and holiday rentals. All rental listings include prices, photographs, virtual tours and interactive location maps with an optional alert feature for recently added properties.
The website also includes a dedicated student letting section that provides listings for each of the main universities across Northern Ireland.
