Good news for renters & property managers
The Trade Me Property team has some good news for property managers and people who rent: we’ve signed an agreement to purchase Viewing Tracker, a small Wellington company that minimises hassles around making arrangements to view rental properties. The business has been going for 18 months and has one staff member, founder Aaron Clancy, who will join the Trade Me Property team later this month.
Our head of Trade Me Property Nigel Jeffries reckons Viewing Tracker is a clever product that clients love and he’s looking forward to getting it in front of taking it to a wider audience. "We want to increase the value we add and make the user experience on Trade Me Property better for both property managers and tenants."
14 Hours Homeless
One in 120 Kiwis are now classed as ‘homeless’, often living in unsafe and unsuitable locations or in cramped, shared housing with other families.
On Friday 10 October – World Homeless Day – the Salvation Army is running “14 Hours Homeless”, an initiative to make a meaningful difference to housing deprived Kiwis. Participants across the country will sleep rough for 14 hours to help raise funds for the homeless in New Zealand.
New: Trade Me Property app for Windows 8.1
We love creating new and shiny things, which is why we’re excited to introduce our brand new Trade Me Property app for devices running Windows 8.1.
Some features of the new app include: More...
Trade Me Property: map-based & multi-suburb search
It’s all go here at Trade Me Property! We’ve released a couple of brilliant new features recently that should make your house-hunting life easier. Grab a cuppa and we’ll tell you about them.
Map-based search
We’ve introduced a new map-based tool which enables users to search for properties for sale via an interactive map. We’re also working on having this available for rental properties soon, so keep an eye out.
New feature: view school zones
In February we added property boundaries to listings on Trade Me Property and today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve released school zone information into the wild.
This means you can now view and filter by 'zone' and 'type' of school in the area for listings that have the correct address information. As with boundary zones, we think this is another handy feature to help potential buyers in their property hunting. It will also be useful for people looking to rent a home in the right place. There is some general information about property maps in our Help section.
