Worcestershire Property Search (WPS), the countywide commercial property finder service, has unveiled its completely redeveloped and redesigned property search website.

Now featuring a database of more than 1,000 Worcestershire properties, the website incorporates simplified navigation and, for the first time, the facility for users to create their own unique property portfolios.  

The one-stop service brings together all of the county's available commercial premises at the touch of a button.  

In addition, users can now benefit from a property alerting feature which will email them as soon as new properties, matching their requirements, are added to the database.

The service which is offered by the local district and county councils, and managed by Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, has undergone the significant upgrade in order to make it easier for businesses looking to relocate into or within the county.  

The already popular website which has seen demand for its services rise by 33 per cent since April 2010 plays a significant role in the county's economic strategy by helping to attract new businesses and retain existing ones to support growth and expansion.

Donna Harding of Worcestershire Property Search underlined how recent improvements to the service align closely with the wider economic strategy for the county.  

She said, "As commercial property agents play such a key role in making the service the success it is, WPS is a clear example of how the public and private sectors can work together with the joint aim of achieving economic prosperity.  

Charlotte Fullard, senior surveyor from Halls Commercial Department, based in Worcester, added, "As a multi disciplined practice dealing with all matters relating to commercial property throughout Worcestershire, working with Worcestershire Property Search helps with the search for new customers for our clients' properties but more importantly helps us to play a key role in promoting the county as a great business location to a far wider audience to the benefit of all."
