NovaLoca Blog

It is official: NovaLoca is now comes to you in association with Property Week. Just one of the great benefits of this: the Property Week’s homepage features NovaLoca as its commercial property search provider meaning even more people will now be using NovaLoca to find commercial property to buy or rent all over the UK. Together NovaLoca and Property Week are set to create a formidable team helping to push NovaLoca into the top position of online commercial property listings services. 

So what else will Property Week be doing? Well, with their skills in sales and marketing, the team at Property Week will be helping us to spread the NovaLoca name far and wide to ensure that every commercial property agent has heard about how NovaLoca can make advertising their property easy.

Dominic at DTZ has been using NovaLoca to advertise commercial property and of our association with Property Week he says, “This is great, but you’re not going to change anything are you? We love NovaLoca the way it is”. Well, don’t worry Dominic, because NovaLoca is still the same great website it has always been and will remain so. Our team continues to work hard to make commercial property agents’ life much easier. We are constantly exploring ways that we can improve NovaLoca.com and the service we offer to both agents and occupiers. These improvements will be the only changes you will see on the site and if you have any ideas for how we can make advertising or finding commercial property easier for you then please do contact us and share them.

We have been speaking to a number of the commercial property agents who are already using NovaLoca to advertise commercial property. They have been telling us how much they appreciate the service NovaLoca offers; and not just the property details listing service but also all the extras on offer such as bird’s eye imagery and property mapping. The agents say they believe additions such as these on their property details pages are helping their properties stand out from the rest which inevitably attracts more occupiers to them.

Similarly, occupiers we have spoken to who have been using NovaLoca to find commercial property have said that all this information about the properties means that they can make a truly informed decision about their interest in a property before seeing it which saves time for everyone and makes the whole process much easier.

Our aim has always been to develop a ‘one stop shop’ so commercial property agents can advertise commercial property, and occupiers can find it, really easily. This is why we are so happy to receive such feedback. Below we have outlined what is currently available through NovaLoca, but if there is anything else that you would like to see there that will make NovaLoca even better then please do contact us.

Bird’s Eye Photography

We are resellers of Blom’s imagery meaning that we can offer great packages deals for high resolution bird’s eye photography (at a 45 degree angle from the north, south, east and west) which agents have found to be a great ‘add-on’ to bring their property details listings and document alive and show occupiers what a property looks like.

To see some examples of the imagery and to find out how you can order some for your property, please click here.

NovaLoca maps

Not only were we ahead of Google to release Street View imagery in our maps of London, we also offer registered agents the use of this latest mapping technology for free. Agents can add a link from their web site directly to a NovaLoca map which shows all the properties they are currently representing (and only their properties) meaning the agents own site can benefit from the same mapping which makes NovaLoca the amazing resource that it is and show occupiers the location of the property. To see an example of how this is already working in Jones Lang LaSalle’s web site click here.

To add a map link to your site:

1. Register as a commercial property agent (if you have not already done so)

2. Log in to your agent admin area and click on “link to my properties list” in the advertiser toolbar

3. Follow the instructions given.

NovaLoca 3D – Google Earth 3D Property Models

If you have a property that’s not been built yet, or even if it has been standing for 100 years, NovaLoca 3D will bring the property to life. The photo-realistic model of the property is embedded into Google Earth and information windows are added so you can draw viewer’s attention to the properties best features. For a truly interactive experience we create a video so you can fly around the site and show an occupier everything the buildings have to offer.
