Tesco expected to launch property website within weeks

Tesco is expected to launch a property website within weeks, allowing home owners to advertise their properties for a flat fee of around £200.
The supermarket giant was forced to abandon plans to launch its online Tesco Property Market venture at the end of 2007 due to the current legislation governing estate agents and sold the business to estate agents Spicerhaart.
However, a report unveiled yesterday by the Office of Fair Trading suggested the legislation dating back to 1979 should be relaxed to allow more online agents into the market.
It said the housing market was dominated by traditional estate agents which fail to offer competitive prices. Google, the internet giant, is reportedly planning a property search service in Britain.
Will your house be a Tesco Finest or a Tesco Value item?
