Google maps integrates with UK estate agents
Users of Google Maps in the UK can search for property websites and estate agents directly from the maps link on Google search.
Properties that are available are highlighted by a circle that will link straight to the relevant agents website. This new feature means that potential renters and buyers can see what is available by choosing the Properties tag from the “More” menu, this will then bring up the available properties and they are sorted by the property type and the property price.
Although not yet seen as a direct challenge to the likes of rightmove.co.uk and primelocation.com, PropertyLive, Ezylet, SmartNewHomes, Countrywide, Zoopla, Vebra, Property Pal, Spicer Haart and Zoomf are believed to have already signed up.
