Draw your search area

‘Draw on Map’ is a great tool to help you ‘Find the one’ as you can draw and search multiple areas at the same time!

Creating your bespoke visual search

To ‘Find the one’ quickly, make sure you have completed the Price range, Property type and Bedroom boxes, then select ‘Draw on Map’.

Preparing to draw

We have properties across a vast area of North Birmingham and South Staffordshire so it’s best to adjust the scale of the map first to focus on your preferred area before you start to draw. When you’re ready, select ‘Draw on Map’ to start.

Drawing your preferred area

Start to draw making sure you finish drawing your search area back at your starting point, then select ‘Done’ to generate your property search results.

Drawing more than one area at a time

Just follow the above guidance, making sure that you select ‘Done’ after each area you draw.

Removing a single search area

If you draw a search area and change your mind, simply select ‘Remove a search area’. Click anywhere on the boundary of the area you want to delete and choose ‘Yes’ when prompted, then select ‘Done’ to refresh your selection.

Removing all search areas

If you have drawn a few areas but want to start again, simply select ‘Remove ALL search areas’ to clear the map.

Your property match

All the properties that meet your criteria within your map area(s) will be displayed by a location marker. There’s also a summary list of all the properties matching your criteria below the map.

Viewing the property details

By clicking on a marker, a pop-up box shows you a summary of the property and selecting ‘View Details’ within the pop-up box takes you to the full property details. Select ‘Back’ to return to your search results.

My

You can mark any property that interests you by clicking the star within the full property details or in the summary pop-up box. You can go back to your list of starred properties at any time by selecting the ‘My ’ tab at the top of the Property Search (on the ‘Draw your search area’ page or at ‘Find the one’). Your starred properties will be retained within the device you are using provided you don’t clear your browser history. If you change your mind about any of your starred properties just re-click the star.
