Popular Property Apps UK
Mobile property apps are becoming more and more popular as they are a convenient way to manage the sale or purchase of a property, as well as elements of moving, decorating, renovating… Everything you need for your perfect home or project is literally at your fingertips.
Here are a few apps for you to consider:
Rightmove rightmove.co.uk/
It is the largest, most popular property portal in the UK with over 130 million visitors every month.
Search listings for every property that is listed on their website & access information on schools, railway stations etc nearby.
Create a Rightmove account & save properties as favourites or create a search and receive an email whenever a property meeting your criteria is listed
Zoopla zoopla.co.uk/
Much like Rightmove but it also has GPS technology so you can see properties for sale as you wander around an area.
Zoopla provides property value reports and the option for managing the details of your existing home.
Most people don’t buy property with cash outright. If you need a mortgage this app helps you work out your budget.
This app may not look wonderful but you can quickly check how much a mortgage will cost you on a monthly basis and how much it could cost if interest rates rise or fall.
There is also a facility to click to talk to expert mortgage advisors.
PlaceBuzz has one key advantage, it combines all the properties listed on all the other major property websites into one app.
If you don’t want to install multiple apps this is the perfect solution plus it has Google street view built-in and you can set it up to receive notifications as soon as a property that matches your criteria comes onto market.
Moveable
Moveable is a great app for when you are moving home. It’s free & easy to use making the moving process less stressful.
Moveable features essential checklists, notifications, handy price-comparison guides, and time-saving efficiency tools.
The team behind Moveable were sick of all the frustrations & unnecessary complications we face when moving home that they set out to build a solution – a good experience for everyone from first-time buyers to property professionals.
If you are considering moving to an area you’re not familiar with then this app could be invaluable.
AroundMe searches for restaurants, shops, banks, petrol stations, hotels, ATM machines, taxi ranks, and much more. The app includes maps, distances, and reviews of the local amenities.

Crime Map Watch UK
It is a really good idea to check the safety statistics of an area we are considering moving to. Crime Map Watch UK shows real data from Police forces. The app shows where criminal activity & antisocial behaviour are active, or has occurred in the past. There is also a zoom function in the map highlighting details of crimes that have occurred.
