Zoopla has added a new search feature to its website, allowing users to search for properties based on the travel time from a selected property to any designated location such as a place of work, school or family member’s home.

The new feature enables journey times to be calculated to any particular location via a variety of transport methods including train, bus, driving, cycling and walking.

Once a user selects their chosen locations and preferred method of transport, each search result displays the travel time to those locations.

Lawrence Hall, head of communications at Zoopla, said: “We are always looking to innovate and add new and useful tools for consumers to help them make smarter property decisions.

“Commute times and distance to a particular location are a key consideration for any home mover and we’re delighted to be the first major property portal to add this feature.”
