Property database

POTENTIAL home buyers can get details of properties outside their locality by contacting the Property Register, a database of estate agents around the country. The register is open, on 0891 616661, between 9am and 8pm. Househunters give their details and requirements to the Register who then notify local estate agents and property developers. Users of the service are charged only for the telephone call - 48p per minute between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday and 36p per minute at other times.
