Sorry, it's terrible.

You cannot search by postcode -- worse, any time it won't recognise whatever search term you input, it will just reload the same page without any sort of warning/sorry message.

When you happen to enter a recognised name, you get sent to a "town centre" which is anything but -- it looks like it's just being calculated, and over a very wide area. For example, Stockport town centre is close to the M60, but the borough is technically quite wide, so the "central" pin is dropped somewhere out in the sticks.

Zoom out to see the entire country, and it looks like only London, Edinburgh and Glasgow have properties; but if you click at random, you'll see that it's not the case.

It's incredibly slow and non-intuitive, and looks like a side-project. Rightmove and friends are still on a different level.

Maybe, but Rightmove is nevertheless lousy, apart from having the most properties. I'd really like to see something better.


hmnn, may I know which search terms did you use?


there was indeed a bug in search where you can't search by post code, but it should work now.
