and live on Freeview channel 276
Research by guided virtual property viewings platform U-See Homes found 81 per cent of those surveyed have looked at an online property listing with no intention of actually viewing it.
The study found curiosity was the driving factor for half of those choosing to do so, at 49 per cent, while checking out a neighbour, friend or colleague’s home was also the driving factor for 16 per cent and 14 per cent did so because it was a luxurious or expensive home.
