Confidential Property Adverts help reduce SPAM

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

For our own free property listing UK service we believe that confidentiality is key when advertising with us.  This applies whether you add a property wanted listing or if you are listing UK property for sale or to rent.

I’m sure you, like us, have countless SPAM emails that you constantly have to sifted out of your inbox and into the trash.  Some days it can be quite tiresome removing this unwanted email traffic.  When we came up with the our property listing website idea we took this into consideration.  It should only take a matter of minutes to upload your free property listing with us.  However, it will not be added to the website until it has been verified.  This enables us to filter out potential SPAM property adverts.  This approach is exactly the same once your property listing has been verified and added to our website.  So should someone be interested in your property advert, they too have to go through the same verification process.

There are plenty of services available where you can upload your own property listing without the use of estate agents.  However, they will vary greatly.  Our own service is essentially a teaser property advert, similar to those displayed in newspapers, the difference being your details remain confidential on the website.  Therefore, you should not receive unsolicited emails or phone calls.  Only when you are willing to receive property enquiries can details be exchanged between the two parties.  This way we believe there is mimimal effort in listing a property advert with us and it’s a great way to test the market.  Not to mention, we do not charge an upfront fee for property adverts, only for qualified property enquiries that have been verified. 

Therefore you should do your research before selecting which website to list your UK property with.  Your property listing criteria should be more than which is the cheapest service; as the saying goes there is no such thing as a free lunch!  Website forms, like those we use, are currently one of the best ways to combat SPAM.  Thus we have ensured our customers are always our first thought when developing our site.
