Asia: Property Finder launches property valuation tool boosted by AI

Property Finder has launched a home valuation tool that allows users to track up to ten properties for up to six months.

According to Property Finder's website, the new tool can forecast a property's value for up to six months, so users can "get clear forecasts on where property prices are headed, helping you plan your next move with confidence."

Valuations are created based on the details a person inputs into the Property Finder website or app. Users can check the current estimated value for both rental yields and sales. The tool is powered by Property Finder and integrated with Mortgage Finder for financing support.

Property Finder said:

Millions of data points are analysed, including transaction history, live listings, neighbourhood trends, and property features. This robust model ensures valuations are grounded in real market conditions. The model is continuously validated against real-world transactions. Historical median error for sales is about 4.7%. This makes it one of the most reliable valuation approaches in the region.

Most [property valuations]rely only on past transactions. Property Finder goes further, offering six-month forecasts of values, insights powered by human-driven AI combining data, sentiment, and expertise; a portfolio view to track multiple properties in one place; and integrated financing support via Mortgage Finder.

United Kingdom: Rightmove teams up with Octopus Energy for green home search

Rightmove has teamed up with Octopus Energy, the largest energy supplier in the UK, to make it easier for home movers to find more ecologically friendly properties.

The portal will roll out new tools and content showcasing how low-carbon tech can slash bills and boost property value, including a 'Zero Bills' label for properties that benefit from Octopus' smart tariff that guarantees no energy bills for qualifying homes.

According to Rightmove data, home movers switching to a Zero Bills property could save over £2,350 a year on their energy bills. Homes must be equipped with items such as heat pumps and solar panels to qualify for the Zero Bills offer.

Johan Svanstrom, chief executive of Rightmove, added:

"Helping home-movers navigate to a greener future is a priority for Rightmove, and we provide many forms of information for homes-related sustainability. We’re excited to partner with Octopus Energy to unlock more opportunities, and drive both awareness and adoption. We’re starting by highlighting Octopus Energy’s innovative energy saving product with a label on applicable new homes listings on our platform."

Greg Jackson, founder of Octopus Energy, said:

“Most people now know someone benefitting from a cost slashing electric car, and savvy homeowners are starting to search for houses with solar panels and heat pumps too. We’re delighted to team up with Rightmove to help their home-movers spot the greener homes of the future.”

Jitty adds AI-Powered neighbourhood search

The leading AI-powered property search platform Jitty has launched Neighbourhood Features, an AI-powered search tool that lets buyers look for homes based on real-life factors such as school access, quietness, walkability, beautiful views, and green spaces.

Described as a UK first, Jitty becomes the UK property portal that understands more about every home on the market than any other platform—and the first to show buyers how rare (and valuable) certain neighbourhood attributes truly are.

Neighbourhood Features forms what the company describes as a “trifecta of intelligence”: property insight, neighbourhood insight, and buyer intent, working together to deliver the most powerful way to find a home in the UK.

Graham Paterson, CEO and co-founder of Jitty, says:

“A home isn’t just the square footage or the number of bedrooms - it’s the school run, the local shops, the nursery around the corner, the peace and quiet of the street, the beautiful views from your home, and the green space you walk through on weekends. For decades, buyers have had to piece all this together themselves, juggling endless tabs and guesswork.

"Neighbourhood Features brings these everyday realities directly into search. It’s the moment when our level of insights about homes on the market truly comes together - deep property understanding, natural-language search, and neighbourhood-level intelligence - giving buyers unprecedented clarity and control. We built this feature because buyers kept telling us they wanted more local context, less research, and more personalised, intuitive search. Neighbourhood Features is a direct response to that. It lets people search based on the life they want to live, not the filters a portal forces them into."

Alongside the launch, Jitty is releasing new data showing that only 17.6% of UK homes on the market meet the most common family lifestyle criteria: near a good school, near a nursery, near a park, on a quiet street, and walkable to shops.

Meanwhile, 10.8% of properties sit within five minutes of a park.

The tool is constantly learning the more it is used so the search is improving every time anyone utilises it.

Europe: Reality.iDnes.cz joins fair advertising initiative

The Czech real estate vertical Reality.iDnes.cz has signed up to an advertising initiative that will label rental listings that meet updated transparency standards.

After a two-year buildup, an initiative launched by the domestic Rental Housing Association will see fair advertising standards now include 8 extra pieces of information to rental listings, including transparent labelling of deposit amounts for services and energy bills, commissions for agents, and security deposits.

Other data points to be included on fair advertising include the number (and price) of private parking spaces, contract types (such as a lease or sublease), and future rent increases.

Reality.iDnes.cz will implement the new standards on its portal and label listings that comply with the new guidelines.

Jiří Knechtl, marketing director at Reality .iDnes.cz, said:

"We joined the initiative primarily because we have been trying to educate the market and act transparently towards both brokers and visitors to our portal for a long time. It was a unique opportunity to further increase the transparency of our offers.

"Only an advertisement that has all the required items filled in is marked as Fair. If it is filled in, the offer will also receive the Fair Advertisement logo . The inclusion in the Fair Advertisement is visible on the "first good one." [Translated from Czech]

Reporting by Bydlet.cz said a 2023 research study by the Rental Housing Association found that 34% of listings published on the five largest advertising servers did not include important information such as service costs, energy costs, or net rent.

According to Similarweb web traffic tracking, reality.idnes.cz is the Czech Republic's second-largest real estate vertical, behind runaway market leader sreality.cz and ahead of bezrealitky.cz.

For buyers, Yakeey will provide buyers with selected and inspected apartments with a guarantee of no hidden fees and competitive mortgage rates provided by Umnia.
