This week's Royal Wedding issue of Country Life carries more than half a billion pounds worth of property for sale in it - one of the biggest issues ever. It's a fortuitous time for the property market as an increasing amount of country houses are put up to sale around Easter every year, but this is a particularly bumper issue. Country Life editor Mark Hedges said: 'Not only is the royal issue is the biggest issue of the decade, and possibly the past half century, it contains 120 pages of property advertising worth more in total than any other issue ever produced and we're extremly proud of this achievement.'
