ononemap Bought By dothomes

Map based UK property search engine ononemap.com has been bought by dothomes.co.uk.



The ononemap.com homepage now refers users to dothomes.co.uk, saying that the next generation of property search is “coming to a computer near you”.

News of the deal was also broken in a blog by renthusiast.com who says “details are emerging, however, Dothomes co-founder Douglas de Jager, promises we will be blessed with “beautiful technology” very very soon”.

This brings an end to speculation over ononemap.com’s closure and possible sale.

ononemap.com was established in August 2005 as a map based search engine for UK property. It was owned by OnOneMap Limited, a private company, with Philip Sheldrake heading it up as Managing Director. The website was both free-to-list and free-to-use, making any revenue through third party advertisements or Google ads.

dothomes.co.uk is a real estate search engine which covers the UK, South Africa and the US.
