Accessibility resources
The Little House Company
The Little House Company is one of very few websites where the advertising system allows you to display a list of access features and adaptations with your advert. And you can of course add additional information in the property description. Our system also allows potential purchasers to search property adverts and display only those which include selected features (e.g., a stairlift).
To further increase the chances of someone looking for an adapted property to see your advert, The Little House Company also uploads property adverts to specialist website The Accessible Property Register free of charge.
