How much it cost to establish its "Property Pages" website and what the annual operating costs are of the site.

The Scottish Executive set up the Scottish public sector property website to speed up sales and lettings of public sector property and expose it 24 hours a day to a wider market than other property marketing methods.It cost £12,000 to establish, £9,470 running costs in the first year and will cost £9,000 for each of the succeeding two years, all plus VAT. There are currently over 1,700 properties currently on the site.Over time we expect there will be a reduction in advertising and marketing costs.
