findaproperty.com is one of the major players in the UK market. It has a traditional search facility for properties for sale and let in both the UK and some overseas markets but its main differentiator is its inclusion of comprehensive editorial. There’s information on the housing market and guides on all different aspects of the buying, selling and renting process as well as very good local information such as crime rates, school tables, tax rates and comments from locals.
The findaproperty.com audience is house hunters in early life stages – renters and first time buyers through to those working their way up the ladder.
