Telegraph enhances property site with overseas search

LONDON - The Telegraph Group has enhanced its property search engine by launching two additional search facilities to help overseas and new homeowners.

The improvements to its search service follow the launch of its dedicated property search engine in May.

In addition, the site, which carries more than 300,000 property ads, has introduced a feature to allow users to upload their property profile directly.

The newspaper says it will allow estate agents, new and overseas property developers to upload details and images of their property onto the as a way of meeting increased user demand.

The Telegraph property website will also feature a new overseas property section, which will answer topical questions on buying a place abroad, and how to get the best value for money with a focus on buying houses in Spain and France.

Janet Irwin, travel product manager for Telegraph.co.uk, said: "The battle for online traffic means that all sites have to keep themselves up to date, the Telegraph has taken a phased approach in developing the property site and has a long-term development plan."

The site, which contains historical house price reports for every house sold in the UK since 2000, will now offer improve navigation, further enhanced search facilities, listings and more content with new contributors including Connells, David Wilson Homes and Mayfair International.

Meanwhile, the Telegraph is to launch an online edition of its quarterly luxury holiday magazine Ultratravel. The site will be updated weekly, will go beyond "the traditional beach and blue sky travel magazine remit", and provide readers outside the UK with access to features, podcasts and image galleries.

Annelies van den Belt, new media director at Telegraph Group, said: "The site enables us to feed British travellers' insatiable desire for luxury holidays, providing an insight into extravagant trips to exotic locations far and wide."

Earlier in the week, the Daily Telegraph announced it had revamped its Saturday supplements and would now have more integrated print and online content.

The newspaper is currently in the process of relocating to high-tech headquarters in London's Victoria, which will include a multimillion-pound, new-media training facility, prompting speculation that the title is about to shed 133 editorial jobs.
