A BENCHMARK SITE: Findaproperty.com
This Bighton-based international website is owned by Associated Newspapers, publisher of daily newspapers in England. The website lists overseas properties modestly, but the portal’s design, layout and ease of navigation makes the property search process very easy.
Unlike Indian real estate portals, this website doesn’t bombard you with advertisements of brokers and builders on every page. The home page provides a search option for all major cities in the UK and also allows you to search properties in neighbourhoods within those cities. In addition, the portal contains a plethora of information on real estate topics. The home page comprises three sections, which carry well-researched write-ups on property issues for the uninitiated, relevant news and articles related to the industry.
Each property list page is comprehensive. The pages on Findaproperty provide the prices at which the properties in nearby areas have sold so that the consumer gets a fair idea of the market price of properties in a certain city and neighbourhood. The portal also provides information on the neighbourhood, gleaned from area residents, in addition to details on schools, crime rates, hospitals, railway stations and airports.
