Whether you're buying, letting, selling, in need of advice or just keeping a keen eye on London's upcoming property hot spots, Time Out finds a number of useful websites to help
www.findaproperty.com
Split
into geographical areas, this site features most London agents’
properties for sale and rent. Shortcuts to three-bedroom houses in N22,
for instance, are easy to navigate and there are detailed, well-written
area overviews and ‘word on the street’ comments from local residents.
www.fish4homes.co.uk
A clear, simple to use and huge site that many local press websites use as a search engine for more than 300,000 properties.
www.home.co.uk
A
recommended home buyer’s guide; featured properties of the week and
links to over half a million properties in the country makes this a
good place to start your house search.

If
you want to miss out the middle man and sell your house privately, you
can advertise it on this site (from £69.99). You can also place it on
some of the biggest portals, such as www.propertyfinder.com.
www.londonpropertynews.co.uk
Experts
on the London property scene, London Property News publishes five
magazines on the subject. Links to available properties are not as
numerous as at some places, but the site’s easy to navigate.

postcode of the area in which you are looking, and this site will find
any relevant properties for sale there.

bargains, plus advice on property investment.

website that hooks you up to thousands of available properties, this

Brockley, Dalston, Haggerston and Woolwich High Street.

huge website that lets you search for almost anything you might want to

recent sale prices.

When looking for property, always buy below market value and so the property will need to be renovated or modernised somewhat.
I would recommend that you use
specialist sites such as www.uktradestreet.com who will get you really good competitive quotes from locally Approved & Reommended Tradesmen - be they Plumbers,Builders or Bathroom fitters etc. It is a free service to use, so I would recommend you take the stress out of life and get a real bargain.
Good Luck!
