The new mobile-friendly website, which was launched earlier this month, offers an advanced search function - allowing users to narrow down their property search using criteria including location, price or property features. The site also offers prospective buyers the chance to save and compare their favourite properties, sign up to regular alerts, and contact agents and sellers directly.
The France Property Shop is part of a portfolio of French publications produced by regional publishers Archant, that includes the magazines French Property News, Living France and FRANCE Magazine and the Complete France website. The portfolio also offers four of the UK’s largest French property exhibitions which are held throughout the year.
As well as launching a range of new features for buyers, the team behind France Property Shop have also been working on improving the site for agents and sellers – with the new platform offering an easier way to upload and manage property listings, says Archant.
“We wanted to ensure that our new platform not only offers time-saving solutions for our buyers, but provides an easier way to upload and manage property listings for our agents and sellers too” said Archant Group Editor, Karen Tait.
“It is now much quicker and easier to add a property listing - and we have also included additional benefits such as unlimited text descriptions, large pictures, and the option to upload floorplans, PDF files and embed videos.”
According to Archant, other features for sellers and agents include:
* Enhanced property listings – and the opportunity to reach wider audiences with a combined advert in Archant’s France magazines;
* Real-time statistics;
* The ability to use data feeds - rather than uploading data manually; and
* A personalised page for agents to advertise their agencies and properties
