Rental Properties

What benefits does this site offer to property renters.

Apart from your property advert we offer a host of extras to help you get the best from your advert. If you don't have your own web site we offer a sub domain name which allows your advert to be personalised without our company details. A perfect option for property owners new to web advertising..

You can have comprehensive property details, up to 15 pictures, wide large scale panoramic views, a link to your own site, offsite links, your own subdomain name to provide a private listing, access to our late deals page, availability calendar and multi currency pricing which you can use from your own site, map links, special pages for golf, cities etc. and much more.

Our low cost means that one booking should pay for a full years advert. We not only get visitors through search engines but by judicious use of pay per click advertising we help share advertising costs over many properties.

Detailed Benefits

When browsing our site visitors see summary listings either by searching or looking at regional lists. They will probably only look at your full site details if genuinely interested.

This means that most viewings of your pages are of high quality.

How we count views.

• We only count views of your property details page. Views of your property summary in search results, regional listings, your calendar, image pages, or offsite links do not count.
• As long as you have logged in we don't count views of your site by yourself.

Whether the site visitors then make contact with you will depend on how well your property is described and whether the suitability of the property, the pricing or house swapping terms are appropriate

NB. You are allowed 8 standard images on your advert as part of the annual fee.

Prices for Optional Hosting of Panoramic images.

Prices for hosting panoramic images are an optional extra and are on a per annum basis as below.

Prices where we stitch and prepare images are per image processed and are only paid once.

If we prepare the image for you from pictures you send the cost will be 24 dollars in the first year then 8 dollars per year.
