Rightmove application to alert users to nearby properties to buy or rent

iPhone users on the lookout for a new place to live or rent can now download an application that will find properties near to their current location. Using the iPhone's onboard GPS function, customers will be able to use the Rightmove application to gain address details, price, agent details and pictures. They will even be able to forward on details of interesting properties to wives, husbands or partners for them to give the nod of approval, or of course to veto the entire notion as well as call the property agents directly.

The application has been developed by 2ergo and with Rightmove offering over a million homes for sale and rent it seems like a great (and novel) way of perusing the property market. The application is free and available from the Apple App Store.
