Although not yet available in the Moray area - Google's Streetview is proving an invaluable tool for estate agents and letting agents in the country's larger towns and cities.
I have seen the Google camera car a couple of times in Forres though - so it shouldn't be too long now !
Though it seems it's not to everyone's taste - Sir Paul McCartney has had his London home removed from Google Street View over security fears.
The former Beatle demanded the mapping service block photographs of the St John's Wood townhouse after realising it could be viewed online.
Sir Paul of McCartney has been strict on security since his former bandmate John Lennon was murdered in 1980. It is thought that Macca's security team, who monitor the house around the clock, complained to Google over the issue.
A 'source'told me: “Sir Paul was unsettled when he heard Google users could get a 360° view of his property.”
A Google spokesman said anyone could remove their house from the site by clicking a button, adding: “Since the launch of Street View, millions have used it and the vast majority are very happy to have their house included.”
The service allows users to take virtual tours of streets across much of the country.
Look out for your house on Streetview soon - Or not, if you happen to be Sir Paul.
Until next time,
Jackson.

With too many years to recall under my ever expanding belt in the landlord, property investment and estate agent business the chaps at Moray Property asked if I would endeavour to write a blog for their website. I agreed, providing they kept me topped up with mugs of tea, homemade cake and a Wi-Fi connection. I hope that buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants, both existing and prospective may find it useful and informative.
