Well, colour me confused because I thought I’d seen the Rightmove app for UK property searches – but Hamptons International is laying a claim as being the first UK residential property agent to have an iPhone app. I suppose what they are claiming is to be the first agent, which technically Rightmove isn’t (it’s a property search portal).
Anyway anyway anyway (!) – the app can make use of GPS to do local searches, as well as relying on the tried and tested approach of place names/postcodes. Interestingly, you can also do overseas searches.
Having tried the app, I can say it hangs together well – the properties that appear have nicely-optimised details and photos, and so from that perspective you can see that property search apps are a great tool if you are out and about viewing houses.
You can grab the app from the link below.
