Kirstie and Phil on your phone - a roundup of phone apps

4th Jan 2012

Technology is changing the way we search and use information. It is also changing the way people look for new homes, with the introduction of phone apps bringing property search into the palm of a user's hand.

With the NetMovers phone app currently in development, we thought we would look at the wide selection of phone apps that are currently on the market.

A popular app that arrived last year was Kirstie and Phil's House Hunter. The app is a home buying guide presented by Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer, who are the presenters of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location.

The app offers financial and legal information about buying a home. It also offers tips about property search and finding the perfect home.

Another popular option is the Mortgage Assistant app from London & Country. This offers the latest best-buy products, a mortgage calculator, affordability checks and property articles.

It is aimed at users who want to sift through large amounts of mortgage information in a simple and user-friendly way.

Teplio is an app for private listings. The app is free but only available on Nokia handsets. Founded in 2009 by property expert Sarah Beeny, the app acts as a property platform for users to sell, buy or let homes.

Beeny is famous for her television programme Property Ladder, where she helps homebuyers navigate the tricky property ladder.

Property apps are an exciting prospect. They are helping to make property search more portable and accessible for a larger set of users, regardless of where they may find themselves.
