I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

    1. Change back the menu to the old format on the left, much more difficult to find what you want!

      The new menu on the left is awful, much harder to navigate....

        Hi there

        The changes are based on the most popular feedback since Globrix was launched – that in addition to adding / refining by features, people want to be able to select multiple features and exclude locations / types of property – which is quite a complex ask!

        There are more options now for each menu item, to require / desire and reject – and we will be working to optimise it so its shown in the easiest to use way – particularly the most popular menus.

        Thanks

        Globrix

          • make it easier (or even possible?) for me to change my email address

            Hi,
            When I click 'my profile' the email address box is blocked so I apparently can't change my email address... and there's no support email address so I can get this changed.
            Please could someone direct me to where I can change it? (Or sort it out if this isn't currently possible!)
            Thanks!

            • have somewhere on here where buyers can put wanted

              In some areas there are buyers who cannot find property to buy. What is on the market is overvalued. What about having somewhere on here that buyers could list what they want to buy.

                Thanks for submitting this, a very interesting idea and we have considered some similar sounding features. We could allow consumers to suggest what kind of property and price they are interested in for an area, and allow agents to get in touch with you directly if they have something that matches.

                • can enter a place of work and maximum commute time

                  You Can enter a place of work and maximum commute time. Using googles route finder (or AA or equivalent) you can get the time it takes from one place to another and only show houses that are within the time allowed. You could also extend this to allow two or more places of work/school etc.. to be added and only the houses that were within all the commute times were shown.

                    • Alllow users of site to COMMENT on properties

                      Basically if you have seen a property on globrix -- then maybe someone may have actually viewed it or they may actually know the previous purchase price.

                      Just allowing the ability to comment on the property provides a community element and provides more power to the buyers..

                      • Make it easy to review hidden properties

                        I have found the ability to hide properties very useful. I can discard them for whatever reason, and not have to see them on the map each time I come back. Very nice. It also allows me to spot clusters of interesting properties. However. If for some reason I manage to hide a property that I didn't mean to, or my requirements change, I see no way to review and re-instate those properties.

                          Currently you can go to MyGlobrix > preferences and reset the list of properties you have excluded.

                          There is currently no way to reinstate them on an individual basis.

                              In the majority of cases this is because the address we have received is ambiguous – ie it matches 2 or more locations to the same level of certainty – for a small % of properties this is an issue. We are going to add a function to allow you to report that a property has an error, so we can quickly find the problem areas

                            • Can you link to the estate agent's site rather than findaproperty.com.

                              The site is almost useless without this. I have to google the estate agents name and find the property I want to look at using their search engine.

                                  It would be enormously useful to be able to search on any keywords and not just those in the drop down list. I can do this with Primelocation but not with Rightmove.

                                  • Search for Number of Acres of Land

                                    I'm really enjoying using Globrix but one thing I absolutely need is to search for property based on garden size. There are a few ways to do this at the moment but keywords like 'Acres of Land' dont always return properties with acres of land! Sometimes they will be in a street with 'Acre' in it.
                                    Similarly the keyword 'Land' seems to often hit adverts which describe a house's Landing.

                                    Do you have any plans for allowing a search based on garden size?

                                      Allow user to select a centre point and show properties with in a set walking time from this point i.e 15 minute walk to a station

                                      • Map school catchment areas & location of pupils

                                        key criteria in selecting a house is which school catchment areas it falls within. It would also be useful to map where current pupils come from within the catchment area to further narrow where is best to live to get in the school of your choice.

                                          This would be very useful, however we need some data which provides us with a map of catchment areas. We will look into what’s currently available.

                                        • Add # Bedrooms or less

                                          I have to make several searches to find all properties you have for 0-1-2 bedrooms currently.

                                            Currently, all icons on the Globrix map are the same (little red houses). It would be useful to show different icons for the following things:
                                            - different state of icons for properties that are new (ie. never clicked by the logged in user in any previous session), or already looked at by the user
                                            - different state of icon for properties that I saved
                                            - For properties that I saved, if I have set a rating (1 star to 5 star), reflection of that rating in the icon (eg. little number, or different color)
