September 2003
Days after the government published the
results of its new house price index, which contradicts many
of the established surveys from the leading building societies
and banks, one thing remains certain, consumers are turning
to the Internet in droves to fulfill their househunting desires.
The growing trend towards the use of the Internet for house-hunting
was clearly brought home when ‘Estate Agents’
came out as the most popular search criteria on Thomson Directories’
popular consumer website ThomsonLocal.com, an online directory
and information source.
With ThomsonLocal.com, house hunters are saving themselves
many hours and wasted miles by initially checking out potential
locations and even some properties, via Estate Agents web-sites,
from the comfort of their own homes!
By visiting ThomsonLocal.com and using the ‘Search Nearby‘
feature potential house buyers and renters heading for new
areas can find out all sorts of information about the local
communities – for instance, how far away are the schools,
what shops, cinemas and leisure activities are there nearby.
In addition, househunters can also search out the websites
of local estate agents again using the ‘Search Nearby’
feature, and then go onto these sites to check out a selection
of what properties are actually available and what they can
expect for their money.
It’s all accessible through ThomsonLocal.com –
you just can’t afford to move without it!
