What's the best Property search engine?

I've been trying to remember what property search engine I use to use but for the life of me I just cannot remember! It's something very similar to https://www.rightmove.co.uk where they show the agents alongside the property for sale. Can anyone help or suggest good ones to use?

Thanks all,

Dave

    look4aproperty.com

    www.globrix.com is supposed to be the next generation of property search engine with greater detail, but it does have snags and inconsistencies (for example, a search of ME1 postcode shows properties near Rochester railway station as being near Halling station several miles away on a country line). Makes a nice change from Rightmove sometimes.
    Been away for a while.

    Many of them do have the same houses etc but there are always some websites that get hold of properties quicker than others.

    If you're keen to watch property over a period of time ... and spot price drops, then use Firefox browser, download/install the Property Bee add on (from http://www.property-tools.co.uk ) and as you look through at houses it keeps track of the price/details. Over time (say a month) you'll notice a lot of changes have occurred over that time ... it makes it more interesting.
