The Ealing Times has more than doubled in size after launching a new full-colour property section.

The free West London title grew from 28 to 72 pages overnight after 23 estate agents committed their business to the Newsquest-owned publication.

The first 'new' edition contained 40 pages of property advertising and editorial.

All of this was new to the Times, which has never previously had a pull out property section.

Early indications are that the paper will grow even larger in the coming weeks to meet demand.

Publisher Vic Catanach said: "The new-look paper has been very well-received within the community and the estate agents are delighted with it. We are now looking forward to growing the title."
