Retirement Homesearch

Retirement Homesearch are the UK’s leading retirement property sales service. Their extensive nationwide portfolio of over 2,000 properties offers an unparalleled choice of new and pre-owned retirement apartments, cottages and bungalows in secure, purpose-built schemes designed and constructed by the UK’s leading housebuilders and overseen by Peverel Retirement - the Country’s top managing agent.

Challenge

The new website gives customers powerful and easy-to-use search tools to create their own portfolios. Customers needed to search for their ideal property by towns, counties, and full/partial Postcodes. One of the objectives as to offer customers a better experience and allow them to create a PDF of their portfolio to print and review. Usability was a high priority for the project, given the target audience profile.

Outcome

The Fusion Workshop team integrated Alterian CMS with

Retirement Homesearch’s Property System. Royal Mail PAF data was used to enhance Property Searches and integrates with Google Maps to display property locations.

Functionality was built to allows customers to save their search criteria, and then receive Property Alerts the moment new properties become available.

Results

Retirement Homesearch users are now able to compile their own property portfolio across the UK for review with all decision makers. The service means customers can review properties at their leisure are in full control of their portfolio, allowing them to make an informed decision.
