Our new tools to make your home search easier

From commute times to personalised alerts, discover what’s new

At Share to Buy, our mission has always been simple: to make the journey to homeownership clearer, easier and more accessible. That’s why we’re excited to announce the next phase of our website updates, packed with brand-new features designed to help you find the right home, in the right place, at the right time.

Whether you’re just starting your search or already have a few favourite areas in mind, these updates are all about putting you in control and making the home-buying process as straightforward as possible.

Introducing ‘My Places’: A smarter way to search

Finding a home isn’t just about postcodes, it’s about fitting your lifestyle. With ‘My Places’, you can add your most important locations (like work, school, or family) and set your commuting preferences. Whether you’re balancing hybrid working, managing the school run or wanting to stay close to friends, ‘My Places’ helps you see homes that fit your life, not just your map.

Nick Lieb, Chief Operations Officer, comments: “My Places’ is designed to meet buyers where they are, offering a smarter, more intuitive way to find homes that work for real life.”

Scheme selector tool: Clarity in just a few clicks

Deciding which homeownership scheme is right for you can feel confusing. Our new scheme selector tool simplifies this by guiding you through a few quick steps, helping you understand which options best fit your situation. From Shared Ownership to Rent to Buy and beyond, this tool makes your choices clearer and your journey less daunting.

Personalised user accounts: Tailored just for you

Every buyer is different, which is why we’ve introduced personalised accounts. Once you register, you’ll start seeing tailored property recommendations that match your search criteria, along with customised email journeys to help you make informed decisions. It’s a home search experience designed around you.

Weekly property alerts: Be the first to know

The property market moves fast, and now you can stay one step ahead. Our weekly property alerts bring new listings that match your criteria straight to your inbox, giving you the best chance to discover homes that could be right for you.

Fresh new look across the site

Alongside these features, we’ve given key areas of our site a fresh redesign. From smarter filters and improved developer pages to streamlined property previews, affordability calculators and account areas, every update has been made with one goal in mind: to make your home search as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Moving forward together

With these exciting updates, Share to Buy is evolving to make your home-buying journey clearer, simpler and more personal. Whether you’re exploring your options for the first time or ready to take the next step, our new tools are here to guide you every step of the way.
