Searching by location on listing pages

Click the search box, type a city, area, neighbourhood, postcode, or address, then choose a suggestion or press Enter.

You can type a qualified place such as Ilford, London or Didsbury, Manchester — Eyemoved matches the neighbourhood to its parent city when both appear in the catalogue.

Priority cities and neighbourhoods for each market are listed in [Supported cities in location search](/help/searching/supported-location-cities).

The selected place becomes a location token in the search box. The page heading and active filter area update from the same selected location, so the visible search state and the result list should agree.

On the homepage, destination tiles (for example Chelsea or Bath) open the matching location listing page, such as `/homes-for-sale/gb/chelsea`. The address bar uses that place in the path. They do not add a `city` query on the market’s default area.

If the market’s default focus area has no listings, a yellow notice can appear on that default search naming the default place (for GB, often Victoria, London). That notice does not apply to a destination tile you selected. A Bath (or Chelsea) page should name Bath (or Chelsea) in the heading, search chip, and any nearby-listings notice.

You can add more than one location. For example, you might search Chelsea and then add Kensington from the Similar: row.

When several places are selected, the collapsed search box may show a summary such as 1 More plus the most recent token. Click inside the search box to open the expanded panel and see all selected locations.

Removing the final location on a named place page (for example `/homes-for-sale/gb/hackney`) drops the place slug from the URL and keeps your current map area as `mapview` on the listing index — there is no location token, but results stay map-bounded. Opening Buy, Rent, Land, or Commercial from the main navigation without a map link still lands on that market’s default place slug.

The Similar: row suggests nearby or related areas. Selecting one of these chips adds it to the same location token set instead of creating a separate hidden search.

Eyemoved only shows Similar when it has geo-specific neighbours for your place (a curated static map, other catalogue areas within about 8 km, or sibling areas under the same parent). If your search is a long-tail place with no catalogue match or no nearby areas, the Similar bar is hidden — it does not show random popular areas from elsewhere in the country.

Already-selected areas are not repeated in the suggestions.

Location tokens control the listing query. The map can still be panned, zoomed, or drawn on, but the selected tokens remain the source of truth for the location search until you remove them.

On Homes for Sale, For Rent, Commercial, Land, and Search results split listing pages, the current map area also narrows the result set. When you pan or zoom, the URL updates with `mapview`, the list refreshes to that bounded area, and the count and pagination describe the same map-bounded results. Switching between residential Buy and Rent from the main navigation keeps the current `mapview` in the URL; when you open the other SERP, the map camera is aligned to those bounds (each listing route loads its own map, like opening a fresh map that restores your viewport from the link). Panning on the same route updates `mapview` without resetting the camera from the URL again. If you open or refresh a link that has `mapview` but no location tokens in the address bar yet, Eyemoved first resolves a named place in the catalogue near the centre of that map box, then runs the listing query so the search box token and the list stay aligned (there can be a short wait before results appear).

Temporary seed data may include listings whose coordinates do not perfectly match their displayed address. In those cases, Eyemoved keeps the location-filtered cards visible so the search box, title, filters, and result count stay consistent while production address data is being completed. The map stays framed on the place you selected (for example Chelsea); a pin with misplaced coordinates does not zoom the map out to the whole country.

On Homes for Sale, For Rent, Commercial, Land, and Search results listing pages, country controls which market you browse — map framing, listing results, and currency should always match.

These listing pages filter results to one market, so you will not see a per-property “this listing is in another country” warning there. That behaviour applies on property detail pages when your site market and the open listing disagree — see [When site country and a listing disagree](/help/searching/market-country-mismatch).
