How do I create email alerts and saved searches?

Setting up email alerts (Property alerts) is a great way to keep up to date with your local property market and to not miss that potential new home, as you can receive summary emails of properties which might interest you. They are easy to set up and there is no limit to how many you can create.  

To create an email alert, you will need to be signed into your SmartNewHomes account.
