The Future of Property Hunting:Neighbourhood Knowledge

Wasting time viewing unsuitable properties could soon be a thing of the past for property hunters, as rising star property portal www.needaproperty.com has developed yet another time-saving information device on its state of the art property portal.

NP The Future of Property Hunting CONSUMERy studying buyer psychology, alongside its own survey results, NeedAProperty has identified that disappointing neighbourhoods are the new prime reason for buyers and tenants not buying or renting a property they have viewed. A property found online may match a buyer or tenant’s search criteria, but when they go out to view it, many pull out due to the neighbourhood not matching their expectations.

www.needaproperty.com has responded to this problem by creating an in-depth neighbourhood search function for each individual property for sale or for rent. This complements the portal’s revolutionary search function that calculates ‘travel time’ distances to work, school or family.  

Every property on the site now has a unique array of neighbourhood information, giving browsers updated information on its own local schools and amenities, places of worship, restaurants, sports and recreation, forthcoming entertainments and business and professional events, as well as the exact distance of each one from that specific property.

“If we can arm home hunters with more valuable information on the property and its neighbourhood online, at home, there should be fewer disappointments or nasty surprises when they go out to view a property they want to buy or rent.

Scott concludes: “Moving forward, we are looking at other reasons for property viewings not converting to sales or lets and addressing those issues online. If we can solve them, we will save everyone more time on wasted viewings and make property sales and lettings a quicker and easier process.”
