Property prices are almost always a talking point in Northern Ireland. After all it’s the biggest purchase most of us will ever make.

As Mark Twain observed they’re not making any more land, the quantity is fixed, but he neglected to mention the prices people are willing to pay for it, are anything but.

Our start-up is Nuala Murphy from “Happy Mummy, Happy Baby.” Nuala is developing an app to help women with post-natal depression.
