Google property finder service goes live

[TimberWolf]

Looks like great beginnings to me. Zoom in on the map to see if your house is up for sale.

...Estate agents and online property companies will not be charged to be partners......partners including Countrywide, the UK's largest estate agency with a portfolio including Bairstow Eves, Bridgfords and Sotherby's Inernational, and Spicer Haart. Deals have also been struck with online-only players including Zoopla, which acquired Property Finder from News International and Thinkproperty.com from Guardian Media Group last year, Trinity Mirror's Zoomf and SmartNewHomes, Vebra, Property Pal and Ezylet. Not Rightmove though

OnOneMap.com used to do that. It launched a few years ago but only lasted a few months due to data provider disputes. Then it launched again a few months ago, with a brilliant UI, then disappeared a month later and now redirects to Zoopla.
Good marker management though, I must have a peep at it.

I think the Find A Property App for the IPhone is better. It seems to have more houses, plus allows you to use the GPS on the phone to centralize your view and show you all of the properties for sale in the area that you are presently located. Perfect for that 'I'd like to live around here feeling!'

Perfect for that "500K for that tuliphole?!!?" feeling!'

FTFY
