Sherlock Publications is a privately owned media company dedicated to property in London and the South East. It began in 1995 as publisher of Hotproperty, which quickly emerged as a market leader for those looking to buy or sell property in the region. By presenting Hotproperty's content via the internet as well as in print, Sherlock Publications showed its willingness to embrace digital platforms in the continuing effort to be as accessible to readers - and as attractive to advertisers - as possible. The success of this weekly publication laid the groundwork for further titles. In August 2002 Sherlock Publications introduced Hotproperty local, which publishes titles focusing on both property and lifestyle in areas of west and north-west London. The title underwent a redesign in September 2003, at which time it was renamed essential living. And in February 2003 a further title, called Renting, was launched. Renting, with its emphasis on the rental market in London and the South East, had immediate success, both with its target readership of tenants and its business clients. Sherlock Publications continues to explore ways to increase its market share, through both the improvement of its existing titles and the introduction of new ones.
