rightmove-iphone-appIf you’ve got a few grand just sitting in your pocket next to your sharp new iPhone 3GS, then this one is for you. Rightmove has just unveiled its very own iPhone app, made by 2ergo, letting you get instant info about the latest hot properties, whether they’re near your gaff or hundreds of miles away. Read on and find out just how the Rightmove iPhone app plans to take the stress out of endless househunting.

Looking for a new house is almost as stressful as meeting the in–laws or being subjected to the weekly Hollyoaks omnibus. The new Rightmove iPhone app, though, is aiming to change all that. Rather than using your PC to search out the right new pad, it uses the power of Apple’s blower to offer location–based suggestions and super–powerful search.

Once you’ve shovelled the Rightmove iPhone app onto your blower, all you need to do is search by post code or location. It then does the rest, firing back lists which include detailed pics, pricing and, all importantly, the number of the slick–haired estate agent who’ll show you it for real.

You can also use GPS, so the Rightmove iPhone app will lock onto your location and find places near you that are up for sale or rent. Even if you’re not looking, we’ve found it’s a killer way to snoop around and weep at the fact you’ll never be able to afford to live in London’s classier areas.

The Rightmove iPhone app is in the App Store now. And the best bit? It won’t cost you a penny.

    This is such a bloody brilliant idea – a much more sensible way to house-hunt, I think! Here’s to not needing it for a long time, I’m so bloody tired of moving…

    This app is exceptionally good for renters too.

    Thanks for the kind comment, Haje. We here at Rightmove certainly hope that the app will make browsing, arranging bookings and moving a whole lot easier, as it is one of the biggest upheavals you can do in your life. If our app makes that easier, than consider us over the moon!

    The response so far has been extremely pleasing, both from bloggers (such as the fab guys here on electricpig) and iPhone owners individually. We hope to build on that, so if there’s any suggestions, comments or new features you can think of that you’d like to see in a new version of the app, please let us know.
