18th June 2010 - Google teams up with Estate Agents to provide a UK property search

Google Maps will now include searches with Estate Agents data and display property results accordingly. The Search giant has upgraded its Google Maps feature to include a new layer of results covering thousands of properties for sale and to rent throughout the UK.

The service is already live in Australia and has been for some time. Individuals can upload their own homes thus cutting out the need for an estate agent, however they would need to set up a website so that Google can link to it and then send any visitors to the site.

The site currently takes results from property portals such as Zoopla and Zoomf.com as well as some of the major estate agents. Although the likes of Rightmove and Primelocation are not on the site, Google have said that the feature is open to all and is completely free of charge.
