We have introduced an improved property feed report that can will be emailed everyday around midday with details of all files uploaded in the past 24 hours.

If you would like to receive this report please add a comment to this blog or use the contact form.

We have added Link-Detached property type to the site.

This change is available with immediate effect and you can download the updated documentation.

We are pleased to announce that this information is now available to view on each property details page. The system automatically adds the closest 5 railway or tube stations to the bottom of the property description and orders the list nearest first. We will be looking to add more features to this data in the coming future including adding this data to the property results screens and the advanced property search form.

We have now increased the maximum property description (sDescription) to 50,000 characters. This should be sufficient for all the property information along with any formatting of the text.

This change is available with immediate effect and you can download the updated documentation.

From today you can TAR your property images into one file before they are delivered our FTP servers. The compressed file does not have to follow a particular naming convention but it must posses the correct file extension (*.tar).

The property dataload process continues to support zipping up (*.zip) of property images.

Following a recent update to our data processing, we are pleased to announce that the property data feed process now supports PNG image files in addition to JPG and GIF.

Remember that the Look4aProperty.com website automatically resizes your images during the load process. You should make sure that all of your property photos and floor plans are at least 576 x 432 pixels in size to provide the best user-experience on Look4aProperty.com. Images can be sent in landscape or portrait but do need to comply with a standard 1 to 1.33 ratio.

See the latest datafeed documentation for details.

We have now included support for the new Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) found within Home Information Packs (HIPS) in the new v2.3 of the Look4aProperty Property Data Feed.

Two new fields have been added to the property data feed, one for a remote URL of an EPC certificate (sEPC) as stored on your server and a second for the EPC button labels (sEPCtext) viewable on the property details page on Look4aProperty.

The Look4aProperty property data feed documentation is available for download here.
