Archie Leslie Melville from Bell Ingram’s Perth office welcomes the latest online move to help homebuyers find an easier way to identify their perfect home.

Up to now, anyone looking for property had to call on and probably register with, all estate agents in their chosen area to ensure they missed nothing. Even with the growing influence of the internet there are still dozens of sites to trawl through to make sure no stone is left unturned. But now there is a new and swifter way of seeing almost all property for sale in the UK in one place and at one time.

The new site Globrix.com turns the property search on its head and places the power back with the searcher. The key difference is that’s its not actually a website but a search engine similar in function to Google, which means you only need to enter the type of property you’re looking for together with the location and the site will use clever ‘crawling’ technology to search every property website available to deliver an seemingly endless list of options that match your search.

The benefits don’t just stop there; maybe you’re looking for a garage, a roof terrace, wooden flooring or perhaps a swimming pool? What about a new build or a period property? Simply type it in and sit back while the site takes just a few seconds to display all the properties that match your criteria. Click through to properties and you will be taken straight to the selling agents’ website; another great feature. It’s incredibly easy to use and comprehensive in its coverage. The site offers home seekers a quick and approachable way of finding a new home.

What makes Globrix so accessible is that, in a way, it is already familiar to Internet users, because it follows the Google way of searching the Internet that so many people have come to rely on.

With over eighty per cent of homebuyers now starting their property search on the Internet this latest move will make finding the perfect home even easier.

Archie Leslie-Melville says “The way we look for property has dramatically changed over the past ten years. However this latest move is a major step forward for homebuyers and we can’t wait to see the results for our clients. We think this will be the next big thing in property searching.”
