Mystery surrounds a possible new property portal called Houser, which has circulated the media with details of what it calls a free listings service for agents which is launching soon.

A test version of the site is on www.houser.co.uk but there are few details of the service itself and links to about' - which normally provide background information on a website's origination - are not yet live.

But it does claim to be the UK's First True Real Estate Search Engine and gives a limited time offer - sign up to a webinar and get up to five years of listings for free.

The site as it stands makes no reference to direct sales or online sales by vendors, so appears unlikely to be anything other than a new portal.

Elsewhere on the site it says:

Houser.co.uk will do for real estate in UK what Google has done for search. We will give you access to the largest index of property related pages, leading house hunters directly to the source of listings. Now you can say goodbye to spending hours browsing tens of different sites searching for your ideal home.

Houser connects you with the right estate agent at the right time. Whether you're simply planning, researching or creating a list of properties - Houser intelligently finds the best information for you and suggests whom to speak to next.

Save the properties you find into collections and share them publicly or privately. Explore and follow other collections, interact with expert local real estate agents, take a look at the gardens, homes and users in the area you desire and discover everything freely - you never know what you'll find!

Charging agents to list their properties is a thing of the past. All property portals in the UK want to charge real estate agents ever increasing fees for listings because these agents have no viable alternatives. Real search engines on the other hand, never charge for organic listings.

Do you or your agency know anything of this portal If so, please let us know.

    Its interesting to see we all want alternatives and yet we are quick to say someone has no chance. I list with zoopla and rightmove and in the start I didnt give Zoopla a chance and look where they got I also advertise on as many other places as possible. If these guys are claiming to be a true search engine, nothing beats search traffic. I use PPC with Google and over the years learnt to reduce my cost and increase my traffic. If they are truly not charging for listings and make it easy for me to list, I will be listing. What do I have to lose At this moment, I will try it for that limited time free period only once I can see the results from it, the future decisions are easier to make. Am I going to stop advertising with the big two, No just like I dont consider Google a competitor to rightmove but I do use it get leads, I dont think this search engine will be a competitor also but if it gets me traffic, Im all for it. We also have to remember, it is good for the industry to see new players, unfortunately most will not make it but the one that does will grow really fast. This is the main reason, i actually join every new site...waiting for the one to take off.

    The question is, do they have the millions to get their new website in front of the massesGoogle ad words, radio and TV etc, cost Rightmove and Zoopla millions each year.....

    And to spend millions, you'll have to make the money back from somewhere.

    Too late for this lot. What with Rightmove and Zoopla (and agents mutual)sorting the agents out, and easyproperty sorting out the rest of the public, any new firm trying to take a slice of the market has absolutely no chance....unless they spend millions from the off
