Bricks and Mortar

Bricks and Mortar was launched in September 2002 with a look, a title and a remit aimed at bringing journalistic rigour to property coverage.

• The supplement, which is published on Friday, is now seen as by far the most innovative and stylish of its kind.

It started from the premise of what readers want to know - how much their house is worth, whether they should buy or sell, how to unlock value from their property and how the other half lives. Young readers in particular are desperate for information, but all readers are interested in fine, witty, clever visuals and creative content.

Bricks and Mortar is a mix of facts and figures, fantasies and fun. It features excellent writing, from the irresistible John Price to the irreverent Damian Barr and Lucia van der Post among a pool of talent new to property pages.
