This new app by Halifax called 'Home Finder' uses augmented reality technology to allow users to view and pull up data on houses for sale as they pass them on the street.
Users can hold their phone up on any street and explore properties for sale nearby, overlaid with additional data such as local school rankings and transport links.
The app also offers additional information on selected properties, with photos and floor plans available, as well as information on monthly remortgaging repayments.
