Add either a search for property to buy or property to let.

Unfortunately, this tool does not work with all browser/operating system combinations. Sorry.

Mobile browser
There are several different third-party apps in the wild that allow you to see Nestoria data on a phone. Typically these work by using our API.

If your're looking for a way to access Nestoria on the iPhone, we recommend Sten Hiedel's excellent UK Property app.

UK Property App

But that's not your only choice in terms of apps. Have a look at Fifty Egg's Locati which offers slightly different functionality.

Another mobile tool we quite like is Property Near Me. Point your iPhone browser to http://www.propertynearme.com and give it a try.

For those of you who don't like the iPhone Locago is a free mobile map browser. Once downloaded you can search for locations and get driving directions on your mobile. You can also add Nestoria results to the map.

If your handsets has GPS build-in you can center your search to your current location.
