21st century way to find dream home - by text

An SMS service launched today will transmit 24-hour property information to house hunters in Scotland, informs The Scotsman.

Potential buyers tap a reference code displayed on "For Sale" or "To Let" signs outside properties into their mobile phone and receive a text message containing the property's price, an outline specification, viewing times, contact details for the agent, etc.

The service, developed by the technology firm Keytxt, will initially be available in Edinburgh before it is rolled out to Glasgow and other cities throughout the UK over the next few months. Besides, the service is to be expanded to include photographic images of properties.

The text service will cost £1 per message and can be used on ordinary mobile phones.
