When people are moving they need all the local information they can get to help in the search for the perfect home. So its good to hear about Locrating, which offers website plugins covering schools, transport and amenities. The plugins are easily integrated to any website in minutes and appear seamlessly alongside other content.
The most popular is their schools plugin; which, since 2010 has been running on hundreds of websites, trusted by some of the largest estate agencies.
The plugin is an intuitive map, placed on a property details page that displays all schools (state and independent) and nurseries in the area. A wealth of comprehensive, up to date information is available; such as catchment area indicators, oversubscription status, Ofsted reports, exam results, pupil progress measures, parent reviews, and more. It is one of, if not the, most comprehensive source of information available on UK schools.
Other plugins include local public transport and amenities; such as bars, restaurants, local attractions, supermarkets etc.
When asked questions from potential buyers about the local education available, the agent will have accurate and expert knowledge easily to hand; without the need to trawl numerous sources of information comparing the performance of local schools or their latest Ofsted ratings.
