homenav

homenav, exclusive to lms, is a unique online home search solution utilising Microsoft® Virtual Earth™.


A one-stop-shop for buyers to find out everything they need to know about a property and its surrounding area.

  • conveyancing costs
  • detailed school info
  • nearby transport links

Pricing - all property listings on homenav are free of charge for estate agents who have a HIP contract for a minimum of 12 HIPs per annum. Agents who are simply "spot registered" for HIPs can list any property with a LMS associated case (HIP or conveyancing) free of charge. To list properties with no LMS associated case there will be a charge of £10 + VAT for "spot registered" agents. Any listing charges will be invoiced monthly.
