If you're looking to buy or rent property in most cases you will spend a lot of your own time either browsing websites or visiting a myriad of Estate Agents for your new home or rental pad.
Why not take that hassle away and let property owners, either those looking to sell or would be landlords, find you. Not only do a host of online residential property websites offer a Property Wanted Listing service, but it's also likely that your local Estate Agent will as well. This should be considered as a valid option alongside your own efforts of browsing the property websites, whether they are Estate Agents or Privately Property Selling and Letting specialists.
It certainly cannot harm your chances of finding your dream property. Finding a new home to purchase or your next rental accommodation can be extremely time consuming and in some cases can be a painful experience. However, you need to increase the odds of finding your next property. It's not dis-similar from a company marketing a new product or service. They will use many different channels to promote themselves. This is no different from you looking for property. A Property Wanted Listing should be a big consideration when making your next home move.

Do Your Research before Listing Your Property Privately
There are a variety of Property Listings available to those looking at posting an advert whether letting or selling privately. Offline property owners or those seeking property to rent can, for example, post adverts in local newspapers or list their details in shop windows. Online there are many different websites offering to list properties.
It is worthwhile investigating the various options available. Online there are some websites which may require a fair amount of detail if you have a property you are wanting to rent out. At the other end of the spectrum will be those that display teaser property adverts. The cost of listing will vary. Some will charge upfront fees, whilst others, like ourselves, will only charge for property enquiries. There are also websites that will offer a completely free service. However, it's extremely important that you do your research before you decide the right property listing service for you. Things to consider before listing your property are:
- Will your contact details be displayed on the website to would be tenants?
- What will the websites do to try and attract potential tenants to your property advert?
- Has the website been recommended?
There will different approaches from the online offerings. Just be prepared to do your homework!
Alternately if you have decided that it appears to be too much work you can always opt to use an Estate Agent, however remember that with this approach there will tend to be larger fees involved.
