FindaProperty.com Launches Free iPhone Property App

Unique features make searching fun and easy on the go.

(PRWeb UK) February 8, 2010 — Leading property portal FindaProperty.com has today launched an iPhone app bringing the FindaProperty.com search functionality to the world of mobile. Users can now search the extensive FindaProperty.com database for houses for sale or rent whilst on the move.

The new app, which will be available to download for free from the App store on Sunday 7th February, has a number of unique features not available on other property portal applications. One feature enables users to display all sales and rental property listings on a map and browse directions to each property.

The new property app also syncs with a user’s FindaProperty.com online account so that searches on both the iPhone and a PC are saved for later reference safely and securely in one place.

Other unique features of the app include:
• Use of iPhone accelerometer - change the orientation and swipe through properties and images
• Remembers your search - the app remembers recent properties viewed and recent searches
• Property and estate agent search - perform a location search using the GPS device and find properties and estate agents close by
• Auto-complete on entering locations manually
• Ability to see floor plans in addition to property images

Chris Boorman, Product Manager at FindaProperty.com, said:
“Following an extensive research and development process we have come up with a unique application which will greatly aid iPhone users looking for a new home in the UK. The ability to perform a search from any location and see properties displayed on a map, and then search directions using the GPS device, will not only save time but will also give house hunters a broader picture of what is available in their search area.”
