Disabled property search

We're looking to move from our existing property to somewhere with suitable adaptations for my progressive disability, things we are looking for include wider doorways to accomodate a wheelchair, accessibility generally including to the garden. Zoopla, RightMove and Location don't include disability filters, can somebody recommend a site to use.

Why not have your current home converted. If you live in the U.K. try Orbit

I do live in the UK. What is Orbit please, they want me to register with them before I can access their website!

Orbit will adapt your home, it’s usually a phone call initially then someone will come and assess what you need, they future proof your home

Have you tried contacting the estate agent?

We are still at the stage of finding a suitable property, therefore there isn't an estate agent to consult !
