The House Hop Guide to Buying

Find Your Perfect Property

On the internet

The best way to start the search for your perfect property is online. In fact, 95% of people looking for a property now search on the internet.

With second generation property search engines, such as Nestoria, you can now search from all the properties listed online in the UK. This is a distinct advantage over the older first generation sites, which only list properties on a subscription basis.

By driving around

Around 90% of buyers move to a property that is within 10 miles of where they're moving from. So for most people a drive around the area they plan to move to is another great way to look for property.

And, despite 95% of buyers now searching on the internet, the trusty old "For Sale" sign still has an important role. It's estimated that between 30-50% of all enquiries are generated as by "For Sale" signs.
