If you've been following our instructions, you know how much you can afford, the type of property you want and exactly where you want it. If you haven't already started searching for properties, you must be chomping at the bit!

Thankfully, the Internet means that you can cut out a heck of a lot of legwork from the househunting process, by taking control and actively using the Internet to search. No more painfully long days traipsing around to look at just a handful of properties that don't even really fit the bill. The web brings them all to you.

As a web site geared towards helping you move, we wouldn't be doing our job very well if we didn't give you the chance to search for properties. We don't have our own database of properties just now - we are not an estate agent and our business is not selling houses.

What we have got is the UK's biggest directory of searchable property databases for you to choose from. In fact we believe that we have found the overwhelming majority of property-related websites that are out there and have catalogued and described them all for you in our SiteFinder directory. We are pretty confident that you should be able to find any property that is being advertised using the Internet using our site. SiteFinder is one of the most useful property hunting tools on the Internet. You can check out all the different national databases, focus your search on sites that cover London, specific counties (we even list specific towns that some of the sites cover!) or sites that specialise in dealing with new homes, country homes or even really expensive ones.

In addition, here are a number of major property search engines to get you started:
