Share to Buy, the portal for affordable homeownership and buying schemes, has launched a commuter search tool as part of its next phase of website development.
The feature sits under a new hub of the updated website, called ‘My Places,’ enabling users to save their key locations – be it for work, lifestyle, family or school – and view homes that fall within their preferred commuting time and method.
Users will now be able to search based on how they live their lives, not just where they want to live.
Whether a buyer is navigating hybrid working, looking to stay close to support networks, or managing the school run, this tool adds an extra layer of relevance to the home search process.
MORE THAN A POSTCODE
‘My Places’ is a central part of Share to Buy’s upgraded website experience, and represents a significant step forward in user-focused design when it comes to property search – making it easier than ever for budding buyers to find homes that align with their priorities.
Nick Lieb, Chief Operations Officer at Share to Buy, says: “Buying a home is about much more than just postcode and price.
“Our users are juggling jobs, childcare and more – they need search tools that reflect that. ‘My Places’ is designed to meet buyers where they are, offering a smarter, more intuitive way to find homes that work for real life.”
The launch follows ongoing enhancements to user experience and functionality, as Share to Buy continues to evolve its offer for buyers seeking accessible routes onto the property ladder.
