Google is set to launch a property dimension to its UK mapping system.
The new service will allow both estate agents and private sellers to put their property as an overlay on Google Maps.
The plans were outlined at a conference called Estate Agency Events last week, although Google has declined to give official confirmation.
Shares in the property portal Rightmove fell more than 10% as news emerged, the sharpest faller in the FTSE 350 index of companies for the day.
The new service is expected to launch next year and would be similar to a service Google launched in Australia.
