I used www.findaproperty.co.uk where you can specify the type of place youre looking for, whether you want to buy or rent and the area. And if anyone is after a nice one bed flat in East LDN available in three weeks give me a shout! Fully furnished, right near the tube and bus stop and more importantly a few minutes walk from a great little pub! -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrian Higginbotham Sent: 01 September 2005 11:06 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Really good, accessible web sites. Another excellent property site is www.vebra.co.uk - it draws together properties listed on a number of different agents site. Not researched in depth but my understanding of the way it works is that Vebra is the system individual agents use to manage their properties with the business including publishing them to their own website, and / or to the Vebra site. So any agent that uses the Vebra system can (I assume it's an option rather than a default) publish to this site. The only accessibility failing I've found is in the lack of alt tags for the 4 image map links at the top which switch between properties for sale, letting, commercial, or something else... Also www.estateangels.co.uk I found pretty good for finding estate agents in any given town.
