OWNER INSIGHT
"In 2004 we made the difficult decision to sell our former home and decided that this was the opportunity to have a change of lifestyle, splitting our time living between here in the UK and America. Finding this property provided us with a comfortable, easily maintained home that we could lock and leave whilst on our travels and we immediately knew that it was to be our new home. Unfortunately we were never able to secure a home in America but we found it so peaceful living here at Pine Court we decided to stay….and that was over 20 years ago! The Warberries is such a wonderful location to live, the tree lined roads and the lovely views really make it a pleasure being here. Now the time is right to make another move but I shall be taking a collection of treasured memories with me and enabling any new owner the opportunity to create their own."

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
