Serial entrepreneur James Caan has unveiled his new-look property website, Look4AProperty.com.
The Dragon's Den star is anticipating a huge surge in online property enquiries this autumn as the housing market picks up.
Caan, who was appointed chairman of the company in 2008, says he expects both estate agents and buyers will get back into the market before the end of the year. Caan plans to unveil a series of initiatives in the coming months...

...designed to put liquidity back into the housing market.
"The UK housing market is slowly recovering," says Caan. "We have already seen an increase in the number of enquiries on the site - but there are just not enough people putting homes on the market.
"Look4AProperty.com has planned a range of powerful products which will blow the current obstacles to sellers and buyers out of the water. We have prepared the site to help the market cope with the new demand."
The website, which features UK and overseas properties for rent or sale, has now incorporated Google Streetview for homes in 25 cities across the UK. It has a new-look homepage which helps users find property more quickly, and the entire website now operates faster.
Aaron Turner, founder of Look4AProperty.com, says he is delighted with the new look.
"The site is slicker, quicker and more effective," says Turner, "and our use of Google Streetview literally puts us streets ahead of our competitors."
