Some current estate agent interfaces have been researched and displayed below, identifying their problems and attempting to create a solution in my own application is crucial to solving the current issues of the property market.

Ryder & Dutton is a website which is visually outdated and unnecessarily complicated. The stroke lines around the buttons make the design aesthetically unprofessional, I believe the website attempts to produce a minimalist design however, has been too simple with the design and therefore has resulted in a 'rushed' look.
