MSN has announced the launch of MSN Local, "a neighbourhood and local information website".

The new online property boasts "a market-leading range of data to allow people to conduct personalised searches of any UK neighbourhood and create an-easy-to-understand map, with all relevant information displayed succinctly on one page".

Launched in partnership with Propertyfinder.com, the site will offer data on crime statistics, schools, local flood maps, constituency information, amenities, transport, demographic information and properties for sale.

MSN says the site will also allow potential landlords "to assess the commercial viability of a neighbourhood by gauging expected rental yield".

MSN Local can be viewed at: http://local.uk.msn.com/.
