Find Your Perfect Home With Our New “Search by Travel Time” Feature

At Jitty, we know that finding your ideal home is about so much more than just price, bedrooms, and postcode. Whether you’re looking for a quick cycle to work, a short drive to visit family, or a peaceful walk to your kids’ school, travel time matters. That’s why we’re excited to launch our latest feature: Search by Travel Time.

Now, instead of estimating if a “2-mile distance” means a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute slog, Jitty lets you search based on actual travel times, tailored to your preferred mode of transport. 🚴‍♀️🚌🚗🚶

How Does It Work?

Through our partnership with TravelTime, you can now search for properties using specific commute times and travel modes, whether it’s by car, bike, walking, or public transit. Just enter where you need to get to and how long you’re willing to spend getting there, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll instantly see listings that fit your needs, so you can plan your lifestyle around the time you’ll actually spend commuting, picking up groceries, or getting the kids to school.

So if you’re dreaming of a 30-minute bike ride to work or a 15-minute walk to a local school, we’ve got you covered!

Why Travel Time Makes a Big Difference

We all know the property listing “within X miles” isn’t always a reliable measure of convenience. Distances can be deceptive, and commutes vary greatly depending on road conditions, traffic, and available public transit. By focusing on travel time, we’re helping you make more informed choices that genuinely fit your day-to-day needs.

After all, a 15-minute commute feels very different from a 30-minute one, even if they’re technically the same distance. With Search by Travel Time, you can plan your life around what matters most - time and convenience - without having to guess or calculate on your own.

How We Got Here: Listening to What Matters to You

Since launching natural language search, we’ve been paying attention to what people actually want from a home search tool. Around 8% of people searched for things like “15 minutes cycle to Soho” or “20-minute walk to London Paddington,” so we knew that travel time was important. You spoke, we listened, and we built this feature to make finding your perfect location easier than ever.

This release is just one of the many ways we’re trying to make Jitty the best home search experience in the UK. Our mission? To let you search with the same freedom and intuition that comes from working with a buying agent, but without the hassle or guesswork.

Other Ways Jitty Makes Finding Your Dream Home Easy

This isn’t the only exciting new feature we’ve launched recently. Just last month, we rolled out Image Search on Jitty, a first-of-its-kind feature that lets you find properties based on your aesthetic preferences. With Image Search, you can use natural language to describe details like “walk-in shower,” “exposed brick,” or “fireplace,” and our AI analyses listings to find matches that fit your style. Now, you can browse for homes not only by location but also by the character, charm, and vibe you’re envisioning.

Jitty’s Image Search also means no more sorting through endless listings with vague descriptions. If you’ve been dreaming of a classic period property with original wooden beams, or a sleek new build with an open floor plan, our AI-powered image search makes it easier than ever to find the look you want.

Jitty: More Than Just a Search Engine

With over 87,000 users already enjoying Jitty, we’re quickly becoming the go-to platform for anyone who loves scrolling through home listings. Dubbed the “Instagram for homes,” Jitty lets you not only search and discover properties but also save favourites, share listings with friends, create personalised shortlists, and even leave emojis on the homes you love! Plus, you’ll gain insights into average price per square meter in an area, making it easier to make informed decisions as you browse.

Whether you’re actively looking to move or simply keeping an eye on the market, Jitty has something for everyone. And with Search by Travel Time and Image Search now live, we’re committed to making Jitty the most convenient, accurate, and enjoyable way to explore the property market.
