Is there such a thing as a website that finds you a suitable house based on your budget but also on where you work?

Say I wanted to be an hours commute from London, wanted to live in the South East, and had £180k to spend. I want a website to say "you could live here, here, here or here".

It doesn't take the leg work out of it quite as much as you'd like, but http://www.ononemap.com is an ace website.

Uses google maps for mapping data, and then overlays icons for houses for sale/rent that fall within your criteria (cost, bedrooms, and distance from a train station).

So, zoom in on the south east, set it to within 0.5 miles of a train station, however much you're willing to spend etc, and look at settlements you know to be accessible by train from London

(Watford, St. Albans to the north, Woking and Guildford to the SW etc)


p.s., if you do find a website that does exactly what you want, let me know as I'd love to make my househunting a bit easier too!
