A new property and mortgage finance app has been unveiled by Halifax .
The bank has launched the UK’s first smartphone application to provide a one stop shop for individuals eager to find a new home .
State-of-the-art technology has been used to create the service that offers a combination of mortgage availability calculators, property search options, buying guides and information about local areas.
Stephen Noakes, mortgage director at Halifax, noted today’s house hunters want to be able to conduct searches while on the move and at regular intervals.
Mr Noakes stated: “The Halifax Home Finder app is perfect – it means that you can search properties, book viewings, rate properties and get an indicative mortgage calculation in one place.”
He added the use of augmented reality technology means people simply need to lift up their handset while stood in a street to find which properties are for sale along that particular road.
The app is available for download on iPhone and Android smartphones and allows individuals to share their thoughts with family and friends thanks to an emailed PDF summary facility.
