If you're looking for something extra special for your ideal home, you need to know the best ways to find that home. Most property search engines are quite basic. You put in the location, price, bedroom, etc. and sift through the result pages. Often what you find is the normal typical house which though adequate might not hold that extra special character and sparkle. Moving house is expensive, and potentially stressful. You want to get it right.

There is one website that will help you do this. At the UK's Property Search Engine, www.wheresmyproperty.com users can add into the search the words that describe that extra special character unique for your next home. For example, you might be looking for a beautiful thatched cottage and so you could include the word "thatched". Perhaps you want to be by the sea, so could include "sea" in the search. Perhaps you want only a period house, and so you can add "period" to the search. On the other side of the spectrum you may definitely not want certain features in your new home and you can choose to exclude properties which contain those features.

By adding the search words of what you want you will save time and only see properties that excite you.

As way of example, on searching for a thatched cottage in the south www.wheresmyproperty.com found only beautiful thatched cottages from a cosy 2 bed cottage dating back to 1850 to a large 6 bed family thatched home with beautiful gardens. On a search for properties by the sea the results were impressive - a 1 bed flat on the sea front up to a 4 bed detached house with sea views. Or perhaps fishing rights are of prime importance - simply add "fishing" to the search, or perhaps landscaped gardens are your joy. WheresMyProperty will help you find it.

Your house is your home. Make it special. Live your dream.
